A3. Techniques and Technologies
By the end of this course, students will:
A3.1 demonstrate technical skill when performing music and/or creating a musical production (e.g., accurately and proficiently perform scales, patterns, or technical exercises in support of reper- toire; demonstrate technical skills when recording their performances or those of their classmates or using a loop-based composition program to mix audio)
Teacher prompt: “How does competence in performing scales and technical exercises support your ability to perform repertoire?”
A3.2 use compositional techniques and available technology when composing and/or arranging music (e.g., compose a soundtrack in ABA form for a scene in a play, using a loop-based mixing program; use computer software to produce a rhythm section accompaniment for an instrumental or vocal solo)
Teacher prompts: “What software experience do you have that might help you use these music programs?” “How can you use software to address issues of balance and blend in your arrangement?” “How can you use software to help you implement your musical ideas?”
A3.3 use current technology to create a record of their own or their peers’ performance and/or production (e.g., collect examples of their best work in digital format and create a performance archive; create and publish digital video of their group’s best performances)
Teacher prompts: “What technical considerations do you need to address when creating your performance archive?” “How can watching a video recording of your performance help you assess your strengths and weaknesses?”
