Pupils also learn about musical concepts featured in pieces of music such as 'Sweet Child of Mine' by Guns 'n' Roses and 'She's Electric' by Oasis.

S3 Music

In S3 pupils continue to specialise on their two chosen instruments and begin to build up a repertoire of music from different styles and genres.

Pupils will also learn about traditional Scottish music, popular music styles and music from around the world.

In S3, it is vital that music pupils immerse themselves in different musical genres at home.  This could involve listening to music on YouTube or a variety of radio stations.  A helpful website that we encourage pupils to visit is My Music Online (linked below).
