whats the difference between music 1 & 2??
music 2 has electives as well, as legendary16 said there's 1 each of core performance/comp/musicology which is mandatory then u pick an elective perf/comp/musicology. only exam we have to actually do a paper for is musicology component (that's the aural exam), comp/perf are separate days/submissions. sight singing is done DURING performance exam and was frankly terrible.The HSC for music 1 is 80% consisting of 4 electives (any configuration of performance, viva voce or composition I believe) and 20% is a 1 hour aural exam
The HSC for music 2 has one performance, composition, musicology (more music theory oriented) and a 1.5 hour aural exam (the part that surprised me was that you have to sight-sing a melody for one of the exams)
The content for music 2 is much more in-depth, about the different music styles like Baroque as far as I know.
Music 1 is much more performance oriented, since my class chose 4 performances for their electives.
content-wise, idk much about m1 but m2 is baroque/classical/romantic then australian art music of last 25 years (weird ass topic) then another one of choice.
yeah this long infodump is all pro-music 2 propaganda.
