Instrumental Music - AMI 3MI
This course provides students with opportunities to develop their musical literacy through the creation, appreciation, analysis, and performance of music, including traditional, commercial, and art music.

Students will consider the function of music in society and the impact of music on individuals and communities. They will explore how to apply skills developed in music to their life and careers. Prerequisite: AMI 1OI or AMI 2OI. Note: It is highly recommended that students have taken both of these courses before they enrol in the Grade 11 course.
