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. Plan performance program | 1.1 Confirm performance requirements or brief in consultation with appropriate personnel 1.2 Apply repertoire knowledge to select items that provide a balanced program suited to the purpose of the performance and performers’ level of artistic and technical ability, and personal style 1.3 Discuss draft program with appropriate personnel, incorporate feedback as required, and obtain final sign off on program for performance 1.4 Confirm timetable leading up to performance so that sufficient notice is given to colleagues and adequate private practice and rehearsal time is allocated |
2. Prepare for performances | 2.1 Confirm nature and extent of own contribution to the performance 2.2 Obtain required resources in line with allocated budget and timelines 2.3 Maintain contact with the venue to ensure mutual understanding of requirements 2.4 Arrange appropriate promotional material as required 2.5 Isolate technically difficult sections of the music and practise systematically, both privately and in rehearsal, to obtain the required standard prior to performance 2.6 Acquire the required level of familiarity with material prior to performance 2.7 Implement work health and safety principles relevant to the performance context |
3. Develop interpretation | 3.1 Analyse the music to understand its scope, musical elements and underlying intention 3.2 Explore a variety of interpretations, and develop the one most suited to the music and performance context 3.3 Refine and develop interpretation in ensemble, where required, through collaboration in rehearsal with other performers 3.4 Listen critically to own and others’ performance, and adjust playing to achieve the required sound 3.5 Develop interpretation that is capable of expression within the constraints of own technical ability 3.6 Demonstrate awareness of the performing space and the audience in interpreting and performing the music 3.7 Practise techniques for sustaining expressive communication with an audience 3.8 Seek feedback on own performance from appropriate personnel, and adjust practice sessions accordingly |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare a program for performance in response to specific requirements and in collaboration with others
organise all ancillary activities and arrangements for program performance, in collaboration with others
achieve the required level of performance skills and musical interpretation prior to the performance.
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 factors to consider when planning and preparing a program
explain music elements relevant to interpretation of chosen repertoire
outline the requirements for finalising a program and preparing for performances
outline issues and challenges that arise in the context of preparing a program for performance, and describe 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:
relevant instruments and equipment
appropriate venue with adequate space and acoustic qualities for performances.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
