What will I learn?

In this course you will learn to refine your music theory and performance skills, expand your repertoire, develop concert programs and leadership skills. Course content will also cover management of freelance career, writing and implementing business plans as well as administering copyright of compositions.

Specific course units have been listed below (Table 1).

Structure of the course

The duration of Certificate III in Music is one year (4 terms of 9 weeks).

Adult students will be required to come in for two full days per week. In total, the students should be spending 20 hours on instructions. Extra time will be given to student for private practice, rehearsals and performances per week.

*Highschool students will either undertake the qualification at school (9 week school terms), or attend our campus one to two days a week (9 week terms). Additional hours per week will be allocated to private practice, rehearsals, performances and attendance of concerts.

Distant adult and highschool students do not have a set due date for completion of their course, however we recommend these students to set an individual deadline for themselves (~1 year). Our External Representative staff will stay in contact with these students to confirm their progress. *Distant Grade 12 students wanting to use their Certificate IV in Music to add to their QCE points or support their University entry, should be finishing the course before QCAA submissions end in early November.

*Only students with outstanding skills in their musical instrument/voice may gain entry. This course is not recommended for grade 12 students, as the course study will clash with units 3 and 4 of QCAA content. 

Entry Requirements

Your individual talent in music will be recognised and fostered, and learning goals will be established to enable you to become an integral part of a group performance and the music industry.
