Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to: - demonstrate appropriate methods for caring, using, moving, tuning and storing instrument - plan and practise a selected set of exercises and/or studies, using feedback from others to assess the need to adjust focus of practice - demonstrate fluent performance on selected instrument for a range of repertoire - use aural skills to monitor and adjust own performance to achieve the required sound.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - describe accessories, applications, range, capabilities, tuning and care and maintenance for the selected instrument - describe a repertoire relevant to the selected instrument and area of specialisation - describe exercises for developing technique - outline work health and safety (WHS) principles as they apply to correct posture and practices to avoid overuse injury.

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: - relevant instruments and equipment - suitable acoustic space - opportunities to demonstrate instrumental techniques. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
