Submission Requirements
90266
Students are required to compose effective pieces of music for this standard. Pieces need to show development and structuring of ideas. Compositions are to be represented through notation, appropriate to style or genre and an audio or video recordings (for assessment purposes).
Compositions completed for this standard will be based on tasks provided by the teacher. A description of the task that will contribute evidence towards achieving this standard is on page 41.
Students should have had an extensive period of time to experiment, improvise, manipulate and evaluate musical ideas, alone and with others, including focused listening, practical activities, analysis and description of a wide range of musical styles and genres. This provides students with models and examples of 'ways of working'.
Note: This assessment contributes evidence towards the final grade for Achievement Standard 90266. The final grade will be determined on completion of this activity and another piece/s of music in response to a given task/s.
90775
Students are to present a portfolio of original musical composition that demonstrates secure technical skills, creative and notation skills. In addition to this, students are to reflect on and evaluate the creative process that informed the preparation and presentation of the composition/s.
Technical skills relate to:
- The use of compositional techniques/devices;
- Structure and development;
- Writing idiomatically for the instruments/voices/electronic media employed.
Creative skills relate to:
- Composing original music, which displays character and imagination in response to a specific task. (See page 41)
Notation refers to:
- Graphic, conventional (stave or tablature notation) or other written representation presented as scores that appropriately represent creative intentions.
Reflecting on and evaluating involves:
- Analysing strengths and weaknesses related to the preparation and the presentation of the portfolio in order to refine and improve.
Work for this standard should be spread throughout the year, though consultation with the student will determine how the student works best to achieve optimum results.
Compositions will be based on tasks provided by the teacher. A description of the task that will contribute evidence towards achieving this standard is on page 41.
The portfolio to be assessed could consist of any of the following:
- A number of shorter pieces;
- A smaller number of more extended pieces or a substantial work.
The length and complexity of the music composed should be appropriate to this level and to the credit weighting for this Achievement Standard, and sufficient work must be presented to allow assessment of technical skills, creative and notation skills.
Note: This assessment contributes evidence towards the final grade for Achievement Standard 90775. The final grade will be determined on completion of this activity and another piece/s of music in response to a given task/s.
Conditions
90266
The composition will be part of a portfolio of work. All workings and drafts will be available to the teacher for feedback during class time and will be included along with the portfolio. A significant amount of compositional activity should occur during class time. This will ensure authenticity of student work.
90775
Composition work must be presented in a portfolio. All workings and drafts will be available to the teacher for discussion during class time and will be included along with the completed composition/s as part of the portfolio. Each composition must be accompanied by an audio recording of a performance of the composition. This may be a live, sequenced or computer generated recording.
The portfolio of musical compositions submitted will also include:
- A description of the task/s completed;
- Written score/s and any relevant supporting material, including self, peer and/or teacher evaluations;
- A recording of the composition/s.
Students must reflect on and evaluate the creative process and completed composition/s. This will be done through informal observation, and/or discussion, workshopping, written form, or other appropriate means. Work for this standard is to be undertaken under conditions of supervision, which can assure authenticity. Some activity should take place in supervised class time. Workings and drafts may also be used to ensure authenticity. Teachers are to provide a form for students to sign to attest that the work submitted for assessment is that of the student.
