HSC Music 2 (1 Viewer)

[eighteenth]

Hey guys, I'm going to choose Music 2 for my HSC. (I'm in Year 10) Can someone give me a brief (or not lol) overview of what's required? Like is it compulsory to do aural, composition and performance or can we choose between the three? And I've heard your pieces have to be classical, but does that negate the Romantic, baroque, contemporary etc eras too?

Also I've been looking at this but it's from 2010, so is it still valid?

Hi There
Take a look at this:
https://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/music-2-assessment-reporting.pdf
It gives you an overview of the assessment schedule and the examination structure. I can't give you much more information about the subject as I don't do it, but I hope this helps! It looks like Musicology, Composition, aural and performance are compulsory.
What instrument do you play??

I didn't do music 2 but I'm pretty sure that in this context, 'classical' means a similar thing to 'art music' (ie 'serious' music) rather than specifically from the Classical period.
