Senior Music is a collection of music pieces that are suitable for music study in years 10, 11 and 12. It has been designed for the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (already covered in our published books 2 and 3), Queensland, Western Australian, Victorian, South Australian and Tasmanian Certificate of Education and Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training.

Each topic explores the concepts/elements of music-pitch, duration/rhythm, texture, tone colour/timbre, structure/form, dynamics and expressive techniques, as well as unity and contrast.

Further exploration of each music work is enhanced through research questions in the Musicology section of the book. This section requires the student to use the process of critical and creative thinking when investigating, analysing and evaluating the music.

All exercises and questions are designed to be analysed at the student's pace and not under examination conditions. They can be used to enhance practise in writing graphic notation and aural analysis. Each excerpt of music has a main focus question. Also included are other activities which will provide various approaches to aural analysis.

Music educators and students have options to choose which content from the textbook is relevant to their curriculum and study needs. The book is also indexed.
