"What is this component?" (Learning Outcomes)
"What is this component?" (Learning Outcomes)
Assessment Task Submission Overview
This component culminates in a collaborative project that is inspired by real-life practices in contemporary music-making. The project brings together the roles and skills of researcher, creator and performer, as well as the processes of exploration, experimentation and presentation, through a real-life music-making situation within a contemporary setting. Developing, realising and sharing artistic intentions through practical music-making is at the heart of this project.
Students are encouraged to:
explore aspects that they may not have previously considered as part of the course.
investigate the potential opportunities, limitations and demands of being a musician in the 21st century.
explore music-making practices outside of the classroom and the school, and to consider inspirations and possible directions for their own work.
Projects may be studio projects or inspired by the music industry or by a global context. Students may, for example, explore unfamiliar performance venues, consider virtual spaces for music-making or collaborate with peers, such as dancers, film-makers or sound engineers.
Students are required to:
work in collaboration with at least one other student.
demonstrate their role as project manager throughout.
Contemporary music-making requires planning, preparation and collaboration with others.
The assessment task requires students to:
choose a feasible project, guided by musical intentions and informed by research and planning
identify a role in, and collaborators for, the project.
select and curate evidence of:
the development of a project in line with their identified role and the project aims
evaluation and decision-making focused on the musical aims.
demonstrate musicality and technical proficiency in their identified role.
organize, structure and present their work in coherent, logical and informative ways.
Evidence:
Students submit a continuous multimedia presentation documenting their real-life project (maximum 15 minutes), evidencing:
the project proposal (Project Plan)
the process and evaluation (Process Evidence)
the realized project, or curated selections of it (Final Presentation).
"Where do I start?"
"Where do I start?"
As students develop their project, they will:
develop and refine clear and achievable project aims according to musical intentions, through research and inquiry into potential music projects. Musical intentions and aims will be documented in the project plan
practise and hone planning and musical skills by setting viable musical goals in line with musical intentions, and with consideration and documentation of the timelines and resources required to realize their project
collaborate with and lead others by assuming focused and purposeful responsibility for a clearly identified aspect of the project, including the effective use and management of available resources to realize musical intentions
package and present the music-making project for others in authentic musical forms and settings
reflect and evaluate on the creative process undertaken while addressing challenges and musical decisions encountered.
For each of these important stages, students should collect appropriate and relevant evidence to document their project for the purposes of successful assessment.

Packaging of upload 1
Students will compile all evidence into a single video file to play from start to end, which will include a continuous narration of the presentation. The presentation is multimedia, and may include integrated written, audio and video evidence.
The file must be compiled in the following order:
