To the OP...
Don't do music... with only one year of playing the guitar you WILL struggle... with no previous background in music you WILL struggle.
Musicality takes a while to develop... the ability to play with nuance and style does not come straight away, no matter how natural you are.
I very highly doubt you will do remotely well. Not saying anything about your intelligence, but the ability to listen critically to music and to analyse it in a short period of time (something you have to do in the course) takes time to develop.
well..depend which music do u wanna do..
music 1 is more from the jazz and pop music, like wat u listen in daily life.
but music 2 is all about classic and composition, the benefit is that the scaling is better than music 2.
i heard that in hsc is written exam plus performance and if u doing music 2, there is composition.
see whether which one do u wanna do. but if u only plays the guitar, i suggest u do music 1 since u dont have any connection with the classic world of music.
Well for starters... not everyone listens to pop and Jazz in daily life. Some of us listen to classical music as well. Music 2 is not all about Classical and composition. It's about music in a context of higher order thinking. They use Classical scores because they're more complicated and have more to analyse. They also use Jazz and even popular music in the course
Music courses in senior years are very very hard - you are competing with people who have been playing for years and have a deep understanding of the aural concepts.
However, music 1 is designed for people with no background in music, and the aural concepts can be quite easy to learn.
If you enjoy it though, do it, as you are likely to go well in it.
Music 1 is designed for people who play a different set of instruments, people who don't want as demanding a course.
Jazz singers, guitarists who aren't classicaly trained, bass guitar, drummers (not percussionists) tend to find music 1 better because they can play music that is suited to their instrument
