Music (year long as part of the College music programme)
The Year 8 year long Music course at Sacred Heart College is designed to give students a broad coverage of music. The course provides lessons in a wide variety of instruments for students. All students learning an instrument need weekly instrumental lessons during term time. Most students use the College Music Tutors although some students will elect to stay with their existing music teacher. The College Music Tutors operate between 8.00am and 3.30pm on a rotational timetable so that students do not miss the same subject time each week. Vocal studies are also an integral part of the tuition programme. Performance in class is encouraged throughout the year.

Students also partake in classroom Music which covers popular music, jazz, orchestral instruments, film music and music for television. The course also includes music technology, musicianship and music theory as well as aural skills and composition.
Year 8 Music students will become a member of one or more of the College ensembles. Students can elect to join Junior Concert Band, College Choir or another of the College ensembles. Being part of an ensemble is imperative to success in Music.

Most of all, the course is designed to be an enjoyable, but structured, experience, so that students can continue on to Year 12 Music and beyond if they wish to pursue a music career.

Note: There are additional costs involved in the Music programme at the College.
