Everything You Need to Teach NCEA Level 2 Music

Designing a complete, engaging, and compliant Year 12 / NCEA Level 2 Music course can take dozens of hours. This comprehensive resource pack provides a structured, all-in-one system for music kaiako and high school departments.

It bridges performance, creation, research, and weekly theory into a cohesive, year-long learning journey—allowing you to spend less time planning and more time teaching.
