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.
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: - an appropriate range of instruments and equipment relevant to the selected musical styles - software, hardware and audio equipment for composing, orchestrating and setting down music. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
