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 music performance program | 1.1 Clarify expectations or brief for the music performance in consultation with appropriate people 1.2 Assess own repertoire, and research new repertoire possibilities to identify appropriate items to provide a balanced music performance program 1.3 Sequence items of the music performance program to maximise audience engagement and to meet own physical requirements in presenting the performance 1.4 Assess each item of the music performance program against own strengths and weaknesses in performance, taking advice from others as required 1.5 Determine and obtain resources and/or equipment required to present the piece 1.6 Finalise the music performance program in consultation with appropriate people as required 1.7 Confirm that all work health and safety (WHS) requirements are met regarding the venue |
2. Prepare for the music performance | 2.1 Engage in coaching, private practice and/or rehearsal sessions to achieve the required performance standard 2.2 Use rehearsals to cultivate rapport and musical empathy with accompanists or other artists, and to achieve the required performance standard 2.3 Seek and incorporate advice during performance preparation to develop and improve performance |
3. Develop interpretation | 3.1 Analyse the repertoire to interpret its scope, possibilities and underlying intention 3.2 Explore a variety of interpretations and musical expression, and select and develop those most suited to the music, the performance context and own technical ability constraints 3.3 Incorporate awareness of the performing space and the intended audience in the musical interpretation |
4. Warm up for the music performance | 4.1 Secure an appropriate warm up space to tune instruments and check all other resources 4.2 Warm up physically to ensure that sound production is secure from the beginning of the performance 4.3 Use techniques to focus on the performance and minimise performance anxiety |
5. Perform before an audience | 5.1 Establish and maintain communication with the audience, other artists and stage personnel using appropriate eye contact and other body language as required to ensure a cohesive performance 5.2 Adjust own performance as required through listening and responding to cues to ensure that instrumental/vocal tuning, sound production and technical performance standard are maintained throughout the performance 5.3 Sustain interpretation and expressive communication with the audience coherently and consistently, and maintain energy and focus throughout the performance 5.4 Use performance recovery measures to mitigate errors with minimum disruption to performance flow and audience experience 5.5 Respond to the audience as required by the custom or tradition of the performance context in entering and leaving the stage, accepting applause, acknowledging other artists or relevant personnel and providing encores 5.6 Present the performance according WHS principles |
6. Evaluate the music performance | 6.1 Use objective measures for evaluation purposes 6.2 Review own performance against previous work to assess technical and artistic development 6.3 Identify and note weaknesses and errors in the performance for analysis and remediation 6.4 Seek and use feedback from appropriate others to inform adjustments in future work |
Evidence of the ability to:
plan at least two music performance programs according to requirements or brief
present at least two music performance programs on the selected instrument or voice in area of specialisation
engage the audience with high level performance mastery of repertoire and well developed stagecraft skills
monitor and adjust own performance to achieve the required sound, and maintain performance flow and audience experience
evaluate own performance, incorporating feedback from others for future improvement.
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 requirements for planning the program and preparing for the performance
explain technical and communication requirements for performing before an audience
describe challenges that arise in the context of presenting a music performance, and explain how they might be overcome
outline work, health and safety principles relevant to particular performance contexts.
