Typically our classes involve a range of activities that involve learning to use SoundTrap, developing Theory and Aural skills, and practical time where we play music together as a class.

In FUNMusic we will complete three Achievements:

  • Music Fundamentals: Here we will start with researching a music topic of your choice. This achievement also includes showing knowledge of music theory.
  • Music Composition: You will have the opportunity to create your own music. You will begin to learn how to build a piece of music from scratch using SoundTrap.
  • Music Performance: Everyone will get to perform as part of a small group on an instrument. The performance will take place in front of the class.
After completing this course it is recommended that you select Advanced Junior Music.
