Content Descriptor

perform music using relevant vocal and/or instrumental techniques and performance skills

Elaborations

  • • rehearsing a range of music in solo and ensemble activities for performance to a variety of audiences
  • • analysing the performance practices of musicians identified as experts in specific styles/genres to identify strategies for interpreting the styles authentically; for example, using online resources and creating a voice-over to add commentary to create a guide/set of aims for rehearsals
  • • performing with correct posture, understanding that the body is part of the performance; for example, standing or sitting as appropriate for the instrument, ensemble, audience and any technology in use such as a microphone; maintaining technical control throughout the performance of a piece of music, controlling tone and volume to create a balanced sound in ensemble performance, reflecting and problem-solving to address imbalances in tone and volume in real-time and seeking feedback from the audience that they can use to reflect on and modify their musical practices in future performances
  • • planning performances, rehearsing and performing their own vocal and/or instrumental compositions, individually or in a group, paying attention to expressive skills that convey stylistic understanding, such as articulation and accents
  • • planning and presenting an in-school performance, attending to how they manipulate elements of music and use vocal/instrumental techniques to convey stylistic understanding
