Junior Music: An Introduction (1)
Course Description
The big question: Should music be used as a form of expression?
Curious about the world of music but not sure where to start? Welcome to Music: An Introduction – your crash course in all things musical!
Here's the lowdown:
We'll get you comfortable on stage with some basic performance skills.
Ever wanted to create your own tunes? We'll show you the ropes of composition.
And don't worry, we'll cover the theory stuff too, but we promise to keep it interesting.
Oh, and did we mention the perks? You'll have access to free lessons to pick up an instrument or polish those vocal cords.
Thinking about tackling NCEA Level One Music down the road? We recommend pairing this class with at least one other music course to really round out your skills. Or, if you're ready to dive deep, consider joining our full-year Music Academy course.
So, let's turn up the volume and explore the wonderful world of music together in Music: An Introduction!
