List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare to notate music | 1.1 Confirm with appropriate people purpose, style, structure and instrumentation of musical pieces to be notated 1.2 Identify appropriate musical elements and forms/structures to suit the purpose of the songs or musical pieces 1.3 Determine the need for fully notated or abbreviated music conventions in consultation with the personnel who will be realising the music 1.4 Investigate computer and paper based notation methods, and determine tools for notation 1.5 Anticipate problems that might arise during the process of notating music, and plan accordingly |
2. Develop music notation | 2.1 Use aural perception skills to identify and write rhythmic, melodic and harmonic structures 2.2 Ensure appropriate use of form and music structures 2.3 Apply dynamics and expression marks 2.4 Notate music within the required stylistic conventions |
3. Present written music for performance | 3.1 Prepare final manuscript in a suitable format for end users 3.2 Provide music for reading purposes to appropriate people 3.3 Seek feedback on notation from appropriate people, and adjust as required 3.4 Complete all work within agreed timeframes |
4. Review effectiveness of music writing | 4.1 Seek feedback from appropriate people on the process used to analyse and notate music 4.2 Use feedback and own evaluation of notated music to identify areas for future improvement |
Evidence of the ability to:
notate music accurately
adhere to the conventions of music notation within the selected style
produce notated music that meets performance requirements
integrate feedback with own evaluations.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe performer’s requirements in relation to notation of music
describe musical protocols and customs for notating and editing notation of music relevant to chosen music specialisation
outline genres and styles, and their musical forms and conventions in written notation
explain music of chords, scales, melodies, forms, textures or conventions applied in music notation
outline features of computer applications used to notate music
describe issues and challenges that typically arise in the context of notating music for performance, and how they might be overcome.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
a selection of notated music
end users of the notated music
software and hardware for setting down music.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
