This unit builds on CUSMCP402A Develop techniques for composing music, and can apply to refining techniques for composing music in any music genre, as well as in all performance and recording contexts.
A higher level of competence in areas such as aural imagination, melodic development, instrumentation and orchestration is required of composers as they seek to establish a reputation for themselves in the industry. They are expected to show a real commitment to improving their techniques in ways that enable them to extend the range of compositional briefs to which they can confidently respond. A willingness to act on feedback from colleagues and mentors is also essential.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop high-level music composition skills.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
