Differentiation in performance and the Inquiry Process

I have taught all 3 HSC Music Courses:

Mission statement
I believe that Music should be taught holistically- the listening, performing and composition aspects of the music course shouldn’t be taught in isolation; students are able to grasp a much deeper understanding when these areas are taught cohesively.
