This specialisation focuses on classroom music teaching, with a heavy emphasis on teaching lower school music. It is open to students with either classical, jazz or contemporary music backgrounds. The units cover philosophies of music education, practical approaches to music teaching, including active listening, creative and systems-based composing and classroom ensembles, and lesson planning and sequencing. Units are practically-based and cover a wide variety of musical genres and styles. In addition, units dissect the WACE music courses of study, authentic assessment in music education, approaches to set works teaching, and extra musical responsibilities such as camps, tours and administration.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
