Year 11 Music: Music in Diverse Contexts (Pilot Course for New NCEA Achievement Standards)

Course Description

This year 11 music course is designed as a pilot to trial the new NCEA achievement standards. The course aims to provide students with an understanding of music in diverse contexts, including exploring the musical histories of their whakapapa, understanding how diverse contexts inform creative musical output, and using music concepts to create an intended effect. Students will also explore tikanga and reo features of Māori music, identify what ihi, wehi, wana means in a Māori music context, and develop awareness of musical performance within contrasting contexts.
