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!

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Use personal practice time to refine skills

  1. Identify strengths and weaknesses in own performance skills in consultation with appropriate people
  2. Develop a practice plan and strategies that incorporate realistic goals for refining performance technique
  3. Identify and incorporate into practice plan repertoire to achieve technical and expressive development goals
  4. Ensure that practice routine optimises use of time, performance space, instrument and equipment
  5. Develop technical control of chosen instrument to enhance musical expression and refine individual style
  6. Experiment with repertoire and exercises to refine technical accuracy
  7. Listen critically to own performance to evaluate technical strengths and weaknesses, and adjust practice regime accordingly
  8. Ensure that practice is undertaken with due consideration to personal health and safety

  3. Practise a range of pieces or works that focus on identified areas of technical development
  4. Select repertoire, ensuring that relevant copyright and performing rights requirements are met
  5. Determine order of items for performance, and source any accessories or equipment required
  6. Rehearse program with accompanist(s) or band as applicable
