St Peter’s School (Cambridge)
Year 11 - Music
Course Description
The Year 11 music course is an exceptional opportunity for students to develop their musical abilities and explore their creativity. We place a strong emphasis on building their performance skills on their chosen instrument/s, with a focus on appropriate practice habits and enhancing their strengths.
We understand that performing in front of others can be nerve-wracking, which is why we provide regular opportunities for them to perform in live contexts, building their confidence and giving them experience with the rehearsal process.
In addition to performance, we'll expose students to a broad range of music, expanding their understanding and communication of key areas and vocabulary. The course also includes compositional activities, allowing them to produce original music in their chosen style, using digital technology to record and reproduce their ideas.
At the end of the course, students will have grown both musically and personally. They'll have developed valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, and self-discipline, and they'll have gained a deep appreciation for music that will stay with them for life.
