This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to rework an existing composition into a different instrumental or vocal grouping to produce a musically distinctive sound. It applies to individuals who apply well developed skills in aural imagination, aural perception, harmony and counterpoint to arrange music in any genre. They may help songwriters structure their compositions, write versions of songs for performance, recording or publication, provide charts for rhythm sections, or add original musical elements to final arrangements. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Evidence of the ability to: - arrange a selection of musical pieces in response to different briefs - discuss requirements for selected pieces, document plans and apply, arranging techniques and conventions appropriate to the style - work with others involved in creating, performing or evaluating the music arrangements. 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 arranging techniques that can be used to manipulate musical elements to achieve musically distinctive pieces - explain copyright issues in relation to arranging music - outline music technology options available to the arranger - describe the ways that musical information is conveyed by various systems of notation - outline typical formats used for presenting musical arrangements - describe challenges that typically arise in the context of arranging music, and how they might be overcome.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - software, hardware and audio equipment for arranging, orchestrating and setting down music - scores relevant to the candidates selected musical styles. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
