Year 13 Music: NCEA Level 3 & New Phase 5 Resource Bundle

Perform with assurance. Compose with intention. Analyse with evidence. Research with insight.

Support your current NCEA Level 3 programme and prepare for curriculum change with two distinct Year 13 Music resource collections.

This bundle brings together NCEA Level 3 teaching materials and a new Year 13 Phase 5 Music programme. Student workbooks, reference materials, teacher guidance and tracking tools support purposeful learning, independent music-making and preparation for further study.

Part One: NCEA Level 3 Music Resources

Connect solo and ensemble performance, composition, arranging, songwriting, research, score analysis and advanced musicianship through a structured, year-long programme.

Student Workbook — 67 Pages

  • Core & Choice Pathways: A suggested course structure built around 3.4 Composition, 3.1 Solo Performance and 3.3 Ensemble Performance, with pathways into songwriting, arranging, second-instrument performance, analysis, research and external exam preparation.

  • Four-Term Course Roadmap: Clear checkpoints and submission milestones help students organise their learning and take responsibility for progress.

  • Plain-Language Assessment Guides: “Recipe cards” help students understand expectations at Achieved, Merit and Excellence.

  • Working Agreements & Reflection Logs: Templates support evidence recording, creative decision-making, acknowledgement of cultural knowledge and reflection.

Theory Toolkit & Word Bank — 103 Pages

  • Weekly Advanced Musicianship: Planned 25-minute lessons and 10-minute drills explore harmony, four-part chorale writing, suspensions, jazz and pop chord extensions, chromatic modulation and dictation.

  • Scoring & Arranging: Reference guides cover instrument ranges, B-flat, E-flat and F transposition, SATB vocal writing and arranging techniques.

  • Score Analysis & Context: Frameworks for sonata form, rondo and theme and variations help students move from describing musical features to explaining their significance with evidence.

  • 555-Term Indexed Word Bank: Definitions, standard-specific usage tags, confidence checks and an A–Z index support precise musical discussion, statements of intent and written analysis.

Teacher Guide & Planning Suite

  • Suggested Student Pathways: Planning templates support different combinations of performance, composition, arranging, research and advanced musicianship.

  • Workbook-to-Toolkit Page Maps: Locate the reference material and vocabulary that accompany workbook activities.

  • Assessment & Moderation Planning: Checklists and summaries help teachers organise evidence requirements, milestones and assessment processes.

Interactive Excel Class Tracker — 16 Sheets

  • Credit & Endorsement Tracking: Built-in calculations support monitoring of planned internal and external credits and progress towards course endorsement requirements.

  • University Entrance Planning: Tracking tools help teachers and students monitor the Music credits contributing towards their wider UE pathway.

  • Visual Progress Indicators: Colour-coded information helps identify overdue milestones and incomplete evidence.

Part Two: New Year 13 Phase 5 Music Resources

Prepare for the new curriculum with a dedicated Year 13 Phase 5 programme, developed using the curriculum information released to date.

This collection is designed to support senior Music programme planning and provide a structured foundation for students’ continued musical development. Further details of the included materials will be confirmed when the Year 13 Phase 5 collection is released.

The Phase 5 programme will be reviewed and updated as further curriculum and assessment information becomes available.
