Content Descriptor

reflect on their own and others’ music to inform choices they make as composers and performers about how they will interpret and/or manipulate elements of music and/or compositional devices

Elaborations

  • • listening to, analysing and comparing the performance practices of others to shape and refine their own interpretation and performance of a piece of music; for example, listening and analysing to identify how other performers develop facility in using specific techniques or achieving specific effects, such as tone colour or phrasing; then evaluating preferences and developing practice strategies to achieve their own goals
  • • using listening, aural skills and understanding of the information provided in scores, charts or lead-sheets to develop interpretations of repertoire in a range of styles
  • • using focused listening, aural or memory skills to identify, sing or play and/or notate/document music ideas, such as pitch and rhythm patterns, intervals and common chord progressions, for future use in compositions and/or performances
  • • developing and refining use of aural skills relating to tuning/intonation that they can use in real-time to improve levels of accuracy and control when performing

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 9 ASARTMUSY910
Year 9 The Arts Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students analyse ways composers and/or performers use the elements of music and compositional devices to engage audiences. They evaluate how music and/or performances in a range of styles and/or from across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They evaluate how music is used to celebrate and challenge perspectives of Australian identity. Students demonstrate listening and aural skills relevant to the styles and/or contexts in which they are working. Students manipulate elements of music and use compositional devices to communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning in compositions in selected style/s, form/s and/or using selected instrumentation. They notate, document and/or record their music. They apply knowledge of styles and/or forms when performing their own and/or others’ music. They demonstrate appropriate vocal and/or instrumental techniques and performance skills when performing music for audiences.
