Conditions

90267
This assessment is to be undertaken under conditions of supervision that can ensure authenticity. All workings and drafts (including computer notated and sequenced drafts) will be available to the teacher for conferencing during class time. Most activity should take place in supervised class time. The source material (e.g. sheet music, piano reduction, audio recording) must be submitted with the instrumentation.

90527
The four-credit Achievement Standard requires approximately 40 hours of student engagement. This task should involve around 20 hours of time, including class and homework time. An arrangement, for this achievement standard, is not a transcription, instrumentation, orchestration or a reduction of a larger score. The arrangement must show evidence of character and the ability to combine and structure musical ideas. The arrangement will consist of at least three independent parts [an 'independent part' is an instrumental or vocal line of music. A piano or keyboard part counts as a single musical line]. Students must sign an authentication sheet to attest that the arrangement submitted for assessment is their own work. The generating and editing of computer notation, and the preparation of electronic sound files, must be by the student alone.

10663
The five-credit Unit Standard requires approximately 60 hours of student engagement. This task should involve at least 20 hours of time, including class and homework time. An arrangement, for this standard, is not a transcription, instrumentation, orchestration or a reduction of a larger score.

The work must identify and explain the original source material, including, but not limited to - melodic structure, rhythmic structure, tonal structure, texture, dynamics, contrast, balance, feel.

It must identify and explain the musical characteristics of the instruments used in the arrangement. Aspects such as register, instrumental capability, tonal qualities, balance, blend and texture could be addressed.

The work must also identify and explain the technical and musical capabilities of the performers for each arrangement and identify and explain arrangement techniques for altering the original source material to create a new arrangement. This may include, but is not limited to - melodic, rhythmic, tonal, textural, dynamic, instrumental, syncopation, articulation, and transposition.

The arrangement may be represented through notation or through an audio-visual recording. It must demonstrate the ability to formulate, select, review, and if required, re-work musical ideas and the ability to combine, develop, and structure musical ideas. The arrangement must be for three or more instruments. Students must sign an authentication sheet to attest that the arrangement submitted for assessment is their own work. The arrangement is to be performed and/or recorded by, or under the supervision of, the arranger.
