Year 11 are studying the topic: Music of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Recently they participated in an aural lesson focusing on the work Antartica by Australian composer Nigel Westlake.
Each Monday, Year 11 have a listening based lesson and they work on developing their aural skills - listening and responding to music. Led by our prac student from the Conservatorium of Music - Mrs Kamel, the students watched excerpts of the IMAX documentary Antarctica and discussed the composer's use of the Concepts of Music in this film.
They then brainstormed the musical concept 'structure' before completing an HSC style question based on that information. Chupa Chups are a regular feature in our Aural lessons - helping to power us up.
Thank you to Mrs Kamel for such an innovative and engaging lesson.
