This course is in greater depth than Level 2. Additional skills include compositional portfolios and second solo instrument. Emphasis is placed on a student centred programme which highlights the student’s strengths and talents in preparation for tertiary study. It is mandatory for students to join music groups and attend music trips. All students will be enrolled into the Music Itinerant Scheme where they must attend a 30 minute lesson once a week with a music specialist. Other assessment standards are available such as Composition, Arrangement, Song Writing and 2nd Instrument Solo Performance.
