Course description

This course prepares pre-service teachers to teach Choral and Instrumental Music in the secondary school. This course provides opportunities for pre-service teachers who are qualified to undertake teaching in Choral and/or Instrumental Music to build on the knowledge and skills developed in EDUC4645 Music: Curriculum Studies. The course will engage pre-service teachers in analysis of recent disciplinary developments in scholarship and professional practice in the teaching of Choral and/or Instrumental Music. They will be provided with opportunities to develop the appropriate knowledge and teaching strategies to effectively deal with literacy and numeracy demands and learning opportunities that exist in Music Education. Pre-service teachers will demonstrate the ability to (i) design, implement evaluate learning and teaching sequences and discipline specific assessment tasks that draw on curriculum, assessment, reporting, and ICT knowledge; and (ii) identify and design discipline specific opportunities for professional engagement and communication within the school context, teaching networks and the broader community. EDUC4645 Music: Curriculum Studies is a co-requisite for this course. The course is relevant to the development of skills for teachers working within curriculum areas and those in the co-curricula arena. It should be considered as a complimentary course to EDUC4645.

For Semester 1, 2025, the mid-semester break for this course will be relocated to university week 8. In Semester 2, this course commences 1 week before standard Semester 2 classes.
