HIGH SCHOOL MUSICIANSHIP

Cottage School of Music offers an Aural Extension Course for students in Years 9 to 12; the course is primarily aimed at students preparing for Tertiary entry auditions and TEE music.

This programme is different in focus to the Junior and Senior Musicianship Programmes, in that it is directed at students undertaking formal written examinations. Through this programme students are able to devise strategies for examinations - these strategies allow students to see their improvement over the short and long term.

This High School course focuses on the development of the aural perception skills relevant to their school music syllabus, with particular emphasis on the TEE syllabus. Students also use the course to prepare for Tertiary entrance examinations and for other examination bodies which include an aural component. Areas covered include pitch and rhythm development, theory, reading, writing, memory development, part-thinking, inner hearing, harmony and dictation.

This course is ideal for students preparing for TEE music examinations.

Cottage School of Music's Musicianship Programme is linked to Cottage's Choral Programme. This exceptional programme offers classes to children aged 5-16, and provides expert vocal training suited to children's voices. The Choral Programme,, which was established in Perth in 2002, is regarded by many professional musicians as one of the finest choral programmes in Australia.

"Nobody wants to stop at pentatony.  But, indeed, the beginnings must be made there; on the one hand, in this way the child's biogenetical development is natural and, on the other, this is what is demanded by a rational pedagogical sequence. ......Pentatony is an introduction to world literature:  it is the key to many foreign musical literatures, from the ancient Gregorian chant, through China to Debussy." (Zoltán Kodály, 1947)

"We should read music in the same way that an educated adult will read a book:  in silence, but imagining the sound." (Zoltán Kodály 1954)
