2024 HSC Summer School

"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 Summer 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 Summer School will specifically focus on HSC Composition and Musicology requirements, giving students the opportunity to develop their understanding of these two core syllabus areas.  

 Why not consolidate your learning further by attending the HSC Winter School (July 15-19th, 2024) too? HSC Summer School will focus on HSC Performance, Past Examination Papers and Sight Singing. Package options are available via the registration form.
