A3. Techniques and Technologies
By the end of this course, students will:
A3.1 demonstrate technical skill in a variety of music performance and/or production situa- tions (e.g., use correct breath control, bow control, stick technique, as appropriate; demonstrate the technical skills necessary to operate a sound board, to use a sequencing program when producing music, or to use a notation program when preparing individual parts of a selection for an ensemble performance)
Teacher prompts: “In what ways does posture and breathing affect your performance?” “What could you do to develop your skill in the use of this sequencing program? How would enhancing these skills affect your ability to produce music?”
A3.2 use current technology in a variety of applications related to music, including the preparation of a portfolio (e.g., design, set up, and run a concert sound system; plan an optimal music system for their home or vehicle; use digital technology to record their rehearsal for the purpose of review; use accompaniment or notation software when composing; create a blog documenting their creative journey as they prepare for an a cappella performance; create a digital portfolio of their computer-based composition at various stages
of its development)
Teacher prompts: “What qualities does a good sound system have?” “What are the advantages of reviewing your recorded practice?” “What technical considerations do you need to keep in mind when developing a creative portfolio?” “What are the advantages of having a loop feature on your music sequencing or accompa- niment software program? How can it assist you in your musical production?”
