1.1 Perform two pieces of Music as a featured soloist

In this achievement standard you will be given the opportunity to perform at two occasions during the year. At each of these occasions you must perform two pieces on your chosen instrument. These are due:

Week 5 – Term 2Week 9 – Term 3

1.2 Demonstrate ensemble skills through performing a piece of music as a member of a group.

In this achievement standard you are to perform as a member of the group. The organisation of this is up to you individually. The performances must be videotaped and will be assessed as opportunities present themselves throughout the year. Some examples of opportunity could be Rock quest, Fraser’s “Battle of the

Page 3: Ncea level one 2012

Bands”, Involvement with the orchestra/Jazz Band/Choir or in our Musical. All group performances should be finished by term 3

1.3 Compose two original pieces of music.

For this achievement standard, you are to compose two pieces of music. One of these must use the Sibelius program and the other the Garage Band program. These are due:

Week 9 – Term 1Week 9 – Term 2

1.4 Demonstrate aural and theoretical skills through transcription.

This achievement standard will be assessed in your end year exam. It involves transcribing melodies from different passages of music, recognising chords and writing them down, alongside answering general perception questions on a piece of music. Aural will be done in varying ways every day in class.

1.5 Demonstrate knowledge of conventions used in music scores.

This achievement standard will be assessed in the end of year exam. It involves understanding different elements of musical theory and score reading. We will also look at different music structures and devices within those scores. Practise for this achievement standard will be done throughout the year, in particular through the study of music works and in homework tasks set by your teacher.

1.6 Demonstrate knowledge of two music works from contrasting contexts.

This achievement standard involves the study of two music works of different genres. Assessment of your knowledge of music works will be done through a range of aspects including recall, analysis, application and research. The two topics to be studied and their due dates are:

Miss Saigon – Week Five Term 1Brahms – Week Five Term 2

In this course assessment policies apply. Reassessments and resubmissions coincide with school policy.

Important points to remember

Every assignment you do counts towards your final NCEA Grade. Performance is the main aspect of this course; therefore you should be practising for at least 30

minutes every day. Composition does not just happen. It takes a lot of effort and perseverance, thus the Music rooms

will be open to students to spend additional time on these. All compositions must be recorded and notated If you manage your TIME effectively you will achieve success in Music Level 1

Student Instructions Sheet

For this achievement standard, you are to present a performance of two pieces on your chosen instrument. You will complete your first performance in week five of term two in front of your fellow class members. Please read the following instructions carefully so you know what is required:

Please choose two pieces of music for your performance that are contrasting.You may choose to have an accompanist to enhance your performance, but please

ensure you have plenty of preparation time with them.Please provide your teacher with copies of both pieces of music or audio recording

and ensure that they are named.

Technical skills, musical skills and presentation skills will be assessed.

They are defined as follows:

Technical skills refers to techniques specific to the instrument used for the performance - for example, tuning, bowing, embouchure, breathing, consistency in changing registers, playing techniques, consistency of tone.

Secure technical skills for Achievement with Merit, refers to techniques that are consistent throughout your performance. For Achievement with Excellence your technical skills will be assured.

Musical skills refers to the musical awareness and understanding of the musical style(s) you demonstrate through your performance, including phrasing, dynamics, rhythm and feel. For Achievement with Merit you will demonstrate secure understanding of the musical style and at the Excellence level you will demonstrate a clear sense of expressive playing and understanding of the music as you interpret it.

Presentation skills refer to the sense of performance appropriate to the genre and style of the music, appropriate posture and stagecraft. For Achievement with Merit and Excellence you will perform confidently.

Evidence/Judgements towards Achievement Evidence/Judgements towards Achievement with Merit

Evidence/Judgements towards Achievement with Excellence

Live presentation of two pieces of music to an audience.The pieces may be performed on different occasions.Appropriate repertoire that enables the featured soloist to: be easily heard and seen have a central or leading role, play a separate or uniquely identifiable part.Each piece of sufficient length to demonstrate skills reflecting at least a third year of study through group itinerant tuition. Accompaniment is optional.Musical repertoire may include traditional forms of Māori music and improvisation

The performances demonstrate:

technical skills (e.g. general accuracy with the music being mostly in tune, some control of bowing, some control of embouchure, some control of breathing, some consistency in changing registers, some playing techniques appropriate to the instrument, some consistency of tone), and

musical skills with respect to phrasing, dynamics, rhythm and feel, and

presentation skills appropriate to the genre and style of the music, including appropriate posture and stagecraft.

The performances are effective by demonstrating

secure technical skills (e.g. awareness of instrumental tuning and pitch appropriate bowing, appropriate embouchure, effective breathing, consistency in changing registers, playing techniques appropriate to the instrument, generally consistent tone) and

musical skills that demonstrate an appropriate sense of style including phrasing, dynamics, rhythm and feel, and

confident communication appropriate to the genre and style of the music, including appropriate posture and stagecraft.

The performances are convincing by demonstrating:

assured technical skills are fluent, accurate and secure(e.g. controlled instrumental tuning and pitch, secure bowing, reliable embouchure, secure breathing, consistency in changing registers, secure playing techniques appropriate to the instrument, consistency of tone), and

musical expression and interpretation through communicating clear understanding of the musical style, including phrasing, dynamics, rhythm and feel.

The assessment criteria must be applied to provide an overall judgement based on the weight of evidence across both performances. The performance of each piece of music must be assessed holistically. This means considering the musicality and merits of the performance as a whole and not placing emphasis on minor inaccuracies that do not affect the fluency of the performance.

Compose two original pieces of music.

Compose two effective original pieces of music.

Compose two convincing original pieces of music.

Student Instructions

Read through all the information given to you before starting work. Make sure you understand what you are being asked to do and that you know what level of performance is required for you to obtain Achievement, Achievement with Merit, or Achievement with Excellence for this assessment.

The compositions will be completed by the date/s given to you by your teacher.

1. In this assessment activity, you will compose two original compositions. Your may work either as an individual or in a group of 2-5 students. You may compose one piece as an individual and one as a member of a group, both pieces as an individual, or both pieces as a member of the same group or different groups

2. Your compositions must show evidence of generation (creation) of musical ideas that are then developed, structured and represented.

Generation, development, structure, and representation are defined as:

Generation involves the creation of original musical ideas through using riffs, motifs, themes, chords, ostinato, use of tonal centre(s).

Development refers to the way that music ideas are extended using compositional devices. These could include, but are not limited to, repetition, contrast, imitation, sequence, extension, variation.

Structure refers to the way that ideas in pieces of music are organised or constructed into a cohesive and coherent composition e.g. verse/chorus, ABA, harmonic logic, unity and contrast.

Representation refers to conveying the intention of the pieces through audio and written formats appropriate to the style/genre e.g. standard music notation, lyric and chord chart, lead sheet, tab, graphic notation, narrative description, or a combination of these.

3. For Achievement with Merit, your compositions will be effective, which means that the musical ideas are developed, structured, and represented coherently and the music demonstrates control of style. For Achievement with Excellence your compositions will be convincing, which means that the musical ideas are developed, structured and represented skilfully, and the music is stylistically assured.

4. Submit your composition work in a portfolio, including any rough drafts along with your finished work. If you have been working in a group you should keep a diary of the process to show how you have made a contribution to the composition. Your teacher will observe your group working and will talk to you about the group process.
