St Peter’s School (Cambridge)
Year 10 - Music
Course Description
Year 10 music is the perfect opportunity for students to dive deeper into the world of music and take their skills to the next level. Our course provides frequent performance opportunities that challenge and inspire students to showcase their talents and collaborate with their peers in thrilling ways.
Students will explore a wide range of music, from the classics to the latest hits, and discover their unique strengths and creativity through composition and music-making. Our course also emphasises building collaborative skills and understanding the different roles within group music-making contexts, setting them up for success in their future musical endeavors.
We believe that a strong foundation in music theory is essential, which is why we offer students the chance to take an internationally recognized grade exam in music theory. We'll also teach them the basics of music technology, equipping them with the tools to better understand and capture music and performances.
Students will learn how music can impact our reactions and understanding of the world around us. This hands-on experience provides a contextual understanding of music that will deepen their appreciation for music and its place in society.
By completing Year 10 music, students will not only enhance their skills on their chosen instrument, but they'll also develop their creativity and collaboration skills, deepen their understanding of musical concepts, and gain a contextual understanding of how music has developed over time. This all sets them up for a bright future in the exciting and ever-changing world of music.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a professional musician, music producer, or just want to explore their love for music, Year 10 music provides the perfect foundation for success.
