Teacher Workshop 5

Qualified and competent private music teachers accustomed to AMEB or Trinity syllabi, often feel inept when it comes to supporting HSC Music candidates. The complex demands of the BOS syllabus are expressed in language which can also overwhelm classroom teachers.

As an experienced private and classroom Music teacher, Nick Peterson bridges the gap between syllabi, equipping private teachers with the means to provide proficient and efficient use of their musical instruction.

In this enlightening session Nick:

• acquaints attendees with the expectations of BOS syllabus
• advises on aspects of HSC Music practical examinations
• familiarises teachers with the Concepts of Music (central to the study of HSC Music)
• demonstrates how teachers can assist with the compulsory Aural Skills exam

Thus informed, teachers can confidently support their students certain that by teaching in the appropriate direction, marks will be maximized.
