Zelman Cowan Building
St Lucia Campus
Presenters:
Meredith Baxter – QCAA
with
Cade Bonar – St Andrews College, Sunshine Coast

The workshop will focus on teaching and assessing Musicology within the QCAA Senior
Music Syllabus (2013). The day will include sessions on evaluating assessment tasks to
make sure that tasks meet all assessment objectives, and approaches to pedagogy that
will maximise student success. There will also be a question and answer session.
Participants will work collaboratively on learning experiences and assessment tasks,
which will be shared after the workshop.
This workshop is designed as an extension on the QCAA assessment workshops that
were run earlier this year, but will also cover the basics of Musicology assessment. It is
designed for all classroom music teachers and pre-service teachers who teach, or have an
interest in teaching at the Senior level.
