The Music Performance and Technology course is a performance-based course for those students who have studied the General Music stream and wish to develop further contemporary instrumental and/or vocal skills.

In this course, students will learn the techniques of various instruments such as Drum Kit, Piano, Electronic Synthesiser, Voice, Electric Guitar and Bass Guitar. Once competency is achieved on a nominated instrument, students will form beginner rock bands.

This course makes prime use of our industry-standard music facilities, recording studio and Performing Arts Centre, and provides all students with a chance to learn or further develop their musical skills in an exciting and vibrant environment.

This exciting course covers a range of topics including song-writing, electronic composition, an introduction to studio recording, event management, live audio production, digital audio workstations and live band performance. Students will be offered a number of opportunities to perform in events that link with the curricular content of each course such as Catholic Performing Arts and lunchtime concerts.

Pathway: This course leads to Year 9 Music Performance and Technology (PTech).
