Your original song/s are recorded and released in the annual senior music album, which is able to be streamed on services such as Spotify/Apple Music. Assessments may include, depending on your personal interests, performing two substantial pieces of music as a featured soloist or as a member of a group; composing two substantial pieces of music, including songs; devising an instrumentation for an ensemble or investigating an aspect of NZ music. The optional external examination on understanding of two contrasting works can contribute to UE literacy requirements in writing.
