The sub-major, Music for Secondary Teaching, offers students experience in composition, musicology (western art music history) and performance. It covers a range of musical styles, periods and genres with a strong component of contemporary and western art music, including Australian music, compositional techniques, and music performance studies. This specialisation in music assumes a working knowledge of music notation theory and performance units are by audition. The music units are only available at the Penrith campus.
Sub-major
Structure
Please note that from 2020 a sub-major in Music for Secondary Teaching no longer meets NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) requirements to qualify students to teach music in secondary schools. The successful completion of the major M1130 Music for Secondary Teaching meets NESA requirements and successful completion of this major will qualify students to teach music in secondary schools.
Please note: All students should seek course advice from Music staff prior to enrolling in any units in this sub-major. Unit selection is dependent on the level of knowledge of music notation theory and the outcome of a performance audition. Several units in this sub-major have pre-requisite requirements which can be waived on a case-by-case basis, once the existing levels of applicable skills and knowledge have been assessed.
