This Content Descriptor from Year 9 The Arts provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

rehearse and present planned performances of music they have learnt and/or composed, using relevant vocal/instrumental techniques and performance skills

Elaborations

  • • recording and evaluating performances using digital tools; for example, listening to a recording of their own performances and identifying areas for improvement
  • • performing their own music compositions and, as appropriate, using scores or visual material and reflecting on/evaluating personal or audience responses to the music; for example, asking questions such as, “How did choices such as tempo, dynamics, articulation or instrumentation allow the ensemble to achieve intended effects in their performance?”
  • • rehearsing and presenting planned performances, and then reflecting on and evaluating how each performance may have been different, which was more successful with audiences, and why
  • • planning and presenting performances in a range of physical or virtual spaces, including providing audiences with information about the music, the performers and the ideas that the performers are intending to communicate

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.
