Welcome to Senior Music
Music at East Otago High School is a thriving and exciting area. Music is a subject developing the creative and social elements at which all students can achieve, whilst remaining a thoroughly academic subject with standards being offered that can gain students literacy credits.
At a senior level students explore areas of study in performing, composing and analysing music and the context in which it is created. At Level 3 the course is tailored to the individual, focusing on what the learners’ strengths are and what they are proposing to do once they leave East Otago High School. All students who are thinking of taking any Music or Performing Arts papers at a tertiary level are tutored to take the Harmony and Tonality exam.
Senior Music students are encouraged to be practitioners outside of school, taking up the wide range of performance and composition options available to them in the Dunedin music and performing arts scene.
NCEA Music Level 1, 2, and 3 have a full year course with 4 periods of music per week.
Students have access to free instrumental lessons within school time and a wide range of extra-curricular activities to take part in at all levels.
