Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to: - perform a specific set of technical exercises and/or studies - demonstrate, in a performance program, fluency, individual style and musical expression in a range of repertoire on the selected instrument in area of specialisation - monitor progress in own skill development. 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 acoustic principles relevant to chosen instrument and area of specialisation - explain tuning conventions for chosen instrument - explain control in relation to chosen instrument - explain strategies and exercises for developing technical techniques - describe extended repertoire relevant to the chosen instrument and area of specialisation - explain qualities of musical performance that would reflect refinement of technical playing skills.

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 instrument and equipment - suitable acoustic space - performance opportunities. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
