Musicianship classes commence in September. All junior students attend a weekly musicianship class, to support learning and teaching in the Practical Lesson. Through these graded classes, students develop a range of core music skills including aural awareness, sight-singing, theoretical understanding, critical listening and appreciation of music.
The class duration varies according to the grade of study:
| Junior Level 1 - 2 | 30 mins |
| Junior Level 3 - Int. Level 1 | 45 mins |
| Intermediate Level 2 - 4 | 1 hour |
| Senior Level 1 | 1 hour 15 mins |
| Senior Level 2 - 3 | 1 hour 30 mins |
Students are expected to complete weekly homework, which may take the form of written work, or practice (e.g. sight-singing, memory work etc.).
Parent-teacher week dates to be confirmed, they are held during regular Musicianship Class time.
