ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Clarify analysis requirements | 1.1 Discuss with appropriate people the purpose and scope of the music analysis brief 1.2 Determine appropriate methodologies for analysing music in the context of the required task 1.3 Confirm the musical styles, genres and historical/cultural contexts of the selected music to be analysed 1.4 Clarify timelines for completion of analysis and factors that may impact on the analysis |
2. Analyse elements of music for aesthetic and expressive qualities | 2.1 Assess the selected music to determine the overall style and character of the music 2.2 Listen critically to and deconstruct musical elements to analyse how expressive, aesthetic and technical qualities are achieved 2.3 Confirm that the range of functional musical elements is appropriate to meet the standard required for analysis 2.4 Evaluate how production or technical requirements of realisation of the selected music impact upon the aesthetic and expressive qualities 2.5 Engage in discourse about aesthetic and artistic qualities of the selected music to inform own ideas |
3. Convey the musical analysis | 3.1 Incorporate in the analysis theory of music and related music vocabulary 3.2 Synthesise evidence and conclusions of the musical analysis in required format and within agreed timelines 3.3 Discuss analysis with appropriate people, and adjust as required 3.4 Seek feedback from appropriate people, evaluate own music analysis and processes, and note areas for future improvement |
Evidence of the ability to:
complete at least three musical analyses that demonstrate advanced skills in aural and score analysis, and music vocabulary
discuss music analysis
apply musical analysis to own professional practice
evaluate own analysis of music for future improvement.
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:
explain methodologies and theories used for analysis of music
describe musical elements and explain ways in which they can be used to achieve different aesthetic, technical and/or expressive musical outcomes.
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:
opportunities to apply the analysis of music in a practical context
printed scores or recorded performances as required by the specialisation to be assessed.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
