VCE Music Study Design 2023-2027

Everything you need in one place

Access a growing collection of useful links and resources, as created by VCAA, AMUSE, ASME Vic and more, as well as summaries and additional information for all things DSMusic & VCE.

As the name of the game here is musicianship and music literacy, please be aware that all of these links and resources have a focus on Outcome 3, or music aural, music theory and music performance analysis—the components that make up the end-of-year Aural & Written examination. However, where appropriate, we’ve also connected you with content that supports the performance requirements in the Unit 3 & 4 streams.

The information, content and resources provided have been done so in good faith, however, a disclaimer, DSMusic does not work for VCAA. We recommend you visit their website for official bulletins and updates, and follow the supportive efforts of others in our DSMusic community.

You can get DSMusic Unit 4 practice exams and Unit 3 sample SACs right now for Repertoire Performance and Contemporary Performance, as well as Unit 1 & Unit 2 Practice Assessment material and VCE Music Inquiry.

Unit 3 Sample SAC & 3 x Unit 4 Practice Exams
Unit 3 Sample SAC & 3 x Unit 4 Practice Exams
Unit 1 Task Set x 2 & Unit 2 Task Set x 2
