What skills do I need to develop before entering VCE Music Performance?

Students will learn how to enhance their skills in reading, writing, composing, and performing music as individuals and in small ensembles. There is also a focus on using electronic music to record, loop and manipulate sounds.
The aim is for students to refine their;
* Confidence in playing an instrument and reading different forms of notation.
(You do not have to have prior experience playing a musical instrument to enrol in this class. All students will be given the opportunity to develop basic performance skills on either the keyboard, guitar, bass, drums or as a vocalist during class time. Students who already play an instrument will be given the opportunity to continue developing their skills as a musician on their chosen instrument.)
* Use of effective rehearsal techniques to practice and critically reflect on their progress.
* Capacity to solve problems when composing their own song using live instruments and/or electronic music.
