Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse, notate and edit music to the standard required by musicians and vocalists during performances. It applies to individuals including performers, composers, arrangers, conductors, producers, editors and publishers, who use notation for accurate music realisations. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements

  • 1. Prepare to notate music
  • 2. Develop music notation
  • 3. Present written music for performance
  • 4. Review effectiveness of music writing

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to: - notate music accurately - adhere to the conventions of music notation within the selected style - produce notated music that meets performance requirements - integrate feedback with own evaluations. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - describe performer's requirements in relation to notation of music - describe musical protocols and customs for notating and editing notation of music relevant to chosen music specialisation - outline genres and styles, and their musical forms and conventions in written notation - explain music of chords, scales, melodies, forms, textures or conventions applied in music notation - outline features of computer applications used to notate music - describe issues and challenges that typically arise in the context of notating music for performance, and how they might be overcome.

Assessment

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: - a selection of notated music - end users of the notated music - software and hardware for setting down music. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
