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. Set personal goals for extending own aural perception skills | 1.1 Identify the applications of aural perception skills most relevant to own music practice in consultation with appropriate people 1.2 Determine appropriate practise techniques and tools for improving own mastery of aural skills for rhythmic, melodic and harmonic music structures 1.3 Identify the genres and styles in own music practice that need attention in the context of refining aural perception skills 1.4 Prepare a plan for own skill development, including a timeline and criteria for measuring improvements 1.5 Discuss plan with appropriate personnel, and incorporate feedback as required |
2. Expand methods for aural recognition and transcription of music | 2.1 Analyse terminology and conventions of music forms, music notation and music structures, and apply to improving own aural perception skills 2.2 Develop ways of hearing music and techniques to improve aural identification and memory, and apply to recognition and reproduction of relevant music structures 2.3 Develop skills in music writing connected with aural transcription skills 2.4 Explore more advanced rhythmic, melodic and harmonic structures connected with aural recognition and transcription skill development 2.5 Develop aural identification of instrumental timbres, textures, formal structural elements and other aspects of musical expression |
3. Apply improved aural perception skills | 3.1 Extend aural recognition of pitch to a wider repertoire of intervals, scales, and longer, more complex melodic phrases 3.2 Extend aural recognition of rhythm to more complex time signatures and rhythmic phrases, including syncopation 3.3 Extend aural recognition of harmony to a wider repertoire of chords, extended chords and more complex progressions 3.4 Discuss application of advanced aural perception skills with peers, and incorporate new ideas and techniques into own music practice |
4. Evaluate own skill development | 4.1 Monitor own progress against personal goals and skill development plan 4.2 Discuss progress of skill development with appropriate people, and act on feedback as required 4.3 Identify personal strengths and weaknesses as a means of improving own work 4.4 Evaluate overall effectiveness of learning methods in the expansion of aural perception skills |
Evidence of the ability to:
plan, monitor and evaluate progress in refining own aural perception skills.
hear and recognise complex music structures accurately
transcribe music structures using aural memory and aural perception skills
discuss and apply aural perception skills relevant to own music practice.
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:
explain musical protocols, customs and terminology for listening to music relevant to the music specialisation
describe techniques to improve aural memory and skills for aural identification
explain conventions for music writing connected with aural transcription
explain issues and challenges that arise in the context of improving aural perception skills and how they might be addressed.
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 recorded or performed music
opportunities to demonstrate aural perception skills in music realisation and transcription.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
