Indicative Assessment

Precise details of assessment requirements and criteria vary according to the nature of the instrument / voice, the needs of the student, and the current performance activities of the School.

The Performance Convenor will determine these individual details as appropriate, utilising performance opportunities within the School or in approved community and professional contexts.

A typical pattern of performance assessment activities consists of:
  • Recital assessment appropriate to genre (50%) learning outcomes [1,2,3]
  • Ensemble performance assessment (20%) learning outcomes [1,2,3]
  • Concert practice assessment (20%) learning outcomes [1,2,3]
  • Written / oral research component assessment (10%) learning outcomes [4]

Performance assessment will cover all learning outcomes.
