"SYO's HSC Winter School was a great experience getting to work one on one with accompanists and get specialist teachers who could coax us through the do's and don'ts when it came to past papers, as well as meet likeminded students eager to learn as much as possible." - Cordelia
Presented by highly experienced music educators and HSC markers, the HSC Preparatory Course at SYO Winter School is specifically designed to assist students in Years 10, 11 & 12 (in 2024) to prepare for and polish their understanding of HSC Music 2 & Music Extension in a focused, supportive and engaging environment.
HSC Winter School will specifically focus on HSC Performance, Past Examination Papers and Sight Singing. Participants can expect to receive intensive training on practical and written exam technique and constructive performance critique.
Why not consolidate your learning further by attending the HSC Summer School (January 15-19th, 2024) as well? HSC Summer School will focus on HSC Composition and Musicology. Package options are available via the registration form.
