VCE Music Style and Composition Externally-assessed Task: Advice for teachers 2015

It is recommended that all teachers read the VCE Music Study Design and associated documentation each year to ensure that all tasks are being correctly addressed.

The candidate number needs to be written on every page of submitted work, and all notation and audio files need to be labelled clearly with the candidate number and component, e.g. Unit 3 Documentation.

Please note that contrast is defined in the study design as a change that occurs, rather than two sounds appearing together.

Unit 3: Creative Exercises and DocumentationStudents need to identify the nominated work/s studied. To name a composer is not enough. The musical characteristics and/or compositional devices that they are using as stimulus material for their exercises must also be included.

Please note that the task for students is to respond to aspects contained within music works and not to any extra-musical or stimulus visual stimulus that is associated with the music works.

Avoid submitting more than one exercise based on the same work.

Teachers should make sure that tasks assigned for Unit 3 exercises are directly related to the compositional approach seen in the works studied.

Time limits/bar lengths must be adhered to.

Unit 4: Music Work and DocumentationContrast, repetition and variation should be an integral part of this work and perhaps should be considered at an early stage in its development.

In the documentation, include indications of where contrast, repetition and variation occur in the work.

Documentation should address the process of the creation of the work and not just present pure analysis of the finished work.

Only full scores are required, not individual parts.

Compositions generated on music notation software still need to show idiomatic understanding of instrument capabilities.

Please ensure that time limits/bar limits are adhered to.

Word limits must be considered in the documentation that is submitted.

Word counts should be included at the end of each piece of documentation.
