Who's doing music this year? If so, what course/instruments/media?

 

[anti]

Getting into it, Weisy :uhhuh:

 

[Weisy]

yeah well...no visitors since last october is making me wonder whether this forum is becoming overly-populated by people who only take english, maths, science and economics. Where are all the musos?

 

[tooheyz]

hahah i'm not a muso myself [although i love to listen to music and sing, even tho i cant sing to save my life]... but 3/4 of my group is... they are freaks! hahahah yeah...

 

[anti]

Get them on the forums, Tooheyz!

 

[Juliet]

Course: Music Course 1

Instrument: Voice, Violin (ha ha both V's ) and Guitar ( a little bit)

Media: ????

 

[Juliet]

I forgot to mention the tenor horn too as part of instruments

 

[Weisy]

that's great Juliet.

welcome!...have you started choosing your programme yet? tell me a little more about the music 1 course...I don't know much about it, because I did 3unit music under the old HSC back in 2000. Is it smiliar to the old Music 1 course? Which elective(s) are you doing?

 

[Juliet]

Weisy: Here's some info on Music Course 1.

In this course we are required to pick topics for each term. Eg: Australian Music, Medieval Music ( btw i did Medieval Music in Yr11).

Then each term we are marked or assessed on one or two things to do with that topic, Eg: Musicology Viva Voce, Performace.

I am doing these topics for Yr 12:

- Music of the 20th and 21st centuries. ( done already)
- Music for radio, film, TV, and multimedia. ( doing at present)
- An instrument and its repertoire. ( may change)

I don't know anything about the old HSC Music Course because I don't know anyone who has ever done it....

The Music Course 2, if you do it in Yr 11, you can do the extension 3 unit. Which I am guessing is what you did.

My program will (at the moment) be two performaces, and maybe one composition. I will most probably sing for all my performaces, i do that best and I love it too.:disco:

 

[Nose Bleed]

performance - castles made of sand - jimi hendrix - music and small ensembles
performance - classical gas - mason williams - instrument and its repotoire
composition
core performance - if i had a hammer - vince jones

 

[Twintip]

Classical Gas is an awesome song. I'm going to teach myself it just because it sounds cool.

I don't do HSC music though.

 

[phunky]

i did music, and i had the best fun it was an absolute blast! i did music 2 in yr 11, and then dropped to music 2 cos there was only 3 of us in music 2 and one teacher between 2 classes so it was just crap.
have fun everyone, don't worry about the exams and stuff- music was way easy, mys best subject- I don't regret doing it!

 

[chip]

doing music 1 , sax
2 performances and 1 viva
electives- jazz, instrument and its rep and music in education

 

[Juliet]

The sax is a great instrument, cool chip.

 

[Katey]

I'm doing Music 2 and extension, I sing and play the flute. Last year I was in a class of four and I was doing it with an outside tutor (My school only offers music 1) but now I'm the only student doing it so I have to do Music 2 through Distance education, and extension through private tutor. Ahhh Distance ed. is so hard.

[Weisy]

I did a subject via distance ed last year, but I'd imagine that music would be hard to manage. Did you pick performance electives?

Hi Weisy,
Yeah it's a bit hard to manage - especially when I'm doing 2 subjects by D.E. Which subject did you do by D.E??
Yup I picked performance electives.
