    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING modern music theory


    Kia ora Year 10 Music

    I hope you enjoy this year as you learn a range of musical skills and styles and continue to develop your work on an instrument.

    This year we will be covering a range of topics - from music history (including NZ Music in May for New Zealand Music Month), music theory, performance and more.

    In Term One we will start by revising some key musical elements that we must be very familiar with - that being beat/rhythm/tempo and pitch. After that, we will begin studying a style of music that has influenced a lot of what you hear today - the Blues.

    Mr Picot will continue teaching group instrument lessons this year but it will now happen during class time. After you have selected your instrument to develop this term, you will be sent the timetable for your lessons.
