This year, I was really nervous about doing music major as I had not continued with music in Year 8. But surprising myself, I actually really enjoyed each unit. My favourite unit was the 'all that jazz' unit because jazz is one of my favourite genres! I enjoyed the musical passport unit because I got to explore all different types of music from all over the world AND have authentic live performances! Personally, I really enjoy learning about other cultures, and I feel that this unit was the perfect platform to explore the world. Although I did not overly enjoy the "what a classic" unit, I did learn about the progressive development of music over time, which i think is really important. I think knowing such things are important because it allows us to understand the kinds of music we have today, and can help us understand the types of music to come in the future. I have learnt so many new things throughout each of the units and I have also learnt and understand different types of terminology I never new before. I think my favourite memory of this year is, during the all that jazz unit when I actually improved for the first time and it worked!! It really boosted my confidence in this subject. Next year, I do not think I will be continuing with music major, but I will definitely still make music for fun. I also may even join the pop choir, depending on how my extra curricular activities come together.
