Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units.

Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by singers and performers to develop their appreciation of rhythm and vocal expression of songs and the playing of percussion instruments in performances. Styles and genres of music include traditional, cultural, jazz, rock or contemporary. Performances could be in commercial, community or open space settings and performers may be performing solo or as members of an ensemble. At this level work is normally supervised, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected in live performance situations. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Supersedes and is equivalent to CUAMPF301A - Employ music and singing in performance

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in a performance environment. The assessment environment must include access to: - relevant instruments and equipment - performance opportunities - appropriate venue with adequate space and acoustic qualities. Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
