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!

Maintain and care for instrument

  1. Use appropriate methods to care for, move, use and store the instrument securely in line with work, health and safety principles
  2. Set up and/or warm up the instrument in preparation for practice and performance
  3. Use instrumental accessories, fittings, maintenance and cleaning products to care for the instrument and enhance performance outcomes

Develop techniques

  1. Consult with appropriate people to plan practice strategies to overcome technical challenges
  2. Exploit the physical relationship between instrument and player to perform a range of techniques and to develop musical expression
  3. Learn and practise a set of exercises and/or studies that systematically develop technical fluency in identified areas of weakness
  4. Incorporate safe and healthy performance habits into practice by using correct postural, finger, hand and/or body positions in line with work health and safety (WHS) principles
  5. Seek feedback on own skill development from appropriate people, and adjust focus of practice sessions as required

  3. Listen critically while playing to adjust intonation and musical techniques to enhance own performance
  4. Play pieces and/or accompaniments with melodic and/or rhythmic precision, attention to dynamic range, and variations in technique as required
  5. Perform all pieces following agreed tempi and musical markings where relevant
