Music Explorations emphasises learning through exploring and experimenting with music. Through exploration of musical styles and influences, the elements of music, and how music is made, students process and synthesise the key learning that has taken place. Students develop musical literacy and engage critically and creatively with music through responding to their own and others' works. This subject is flexible in its design, allowing individual and collaborative exploration options in performing, composing, arranging and exploring music technology. Through practical application of their understanding of musical elements, students learn to analyse and deconstruct music, manipulate sound and create musical works that express their ideas and emotions.
