Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to:

practice, plan and monitor progress in own professional skill development

compose, in response to different briefs, a selection of musical pieces that demonstrate advanced skills in compositional techniques

evaluate own compositions, and seek and use feedback from others to extend compositional skills.

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 factors and techniques that contribute to excellence in music composition

explain music and compositional elements and other criteria that might be used to measure skill development

analyse issues and challenges that typically arise in the context of extending techniques for composing music, and explain how they may be overcome.
