This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop performance techniques on an instrument other than the primary instrument. It applies to musicians who want to gain proficiency in a second instrument, including voice, and so develop flexibility in their repertoire. The techniques for playing instruments may be completely different, however, the underpinning music knowledge that needs to be applied in performance remains the same. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
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 - perform at least three pieces that demonstrate an ability to achieve the required sound on an instrument other than the primary one - aural discrimination to monitor and adjust own performance to achieve the required sound - develop a personal skill development plan. 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: - describe key considerations for developing performance techniques on a second instrument or voice - explain physical characteristics, basic acoustic principles and tuning techniques relevant to selected instrument or voice - describe use and care of second instrument and accessories - outline work health and safety principles as they apply to playing and performing a second instrument.
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 - a suitable acoustic space. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
