Performance associated with Grade B, representing high achievement.<br />

<strong>Work</strong> <strong>sample</strong> summary<br />

Grades are allocated at the end of a unit or<br />

semester based on the rank order of<br />

students. Grades should not be allocated<br />

to individual assessments.<br />

Assessment type: Theory and composition<br />

This is an example of a <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Art</strong> theory task completed under test conditions. Students were required to<br />

complete questions based on the recognition and writing of key signatures, intervals, triads, chords and scales. In<br />

addition, there were three transposition questions to complete, two of which were instrument based questions.<br />

In this work <strong>sample</strong> most questions were answered competently demonstrating a mostly accurate application of<br />

music theory skills, but there were some inconsistencies evident. There were several errors across questions<br />

involving the use of accidentals and key signatures, particularly when writing minor scales and two of the<br />

transposition questions were incorrectly written.<br />

<strong>Music</strong><br />

(<strong>Western</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Music</strong>)<br />

<strong>Stage</strong> 1<br />

Grades are allocated at the end of a unit or<br />

semester based on the rank order of<br />

students. Grades should not be allocated<br />

to individual assessments.<br />

The student has<br />

provided the correct<br />

notes and key<br />

signature, but the<br />

melody is written at the<br />

wrong octave, needing<br />

to be an octave higher<br />

than indicated.<br />

The student has<br />

confused the direction<br />

the melody is to be<br />

transposed, writing it<br />

up a Major 2nd instead<br />

of transposing it down<br />

a Major 2nd into<br />

concert or sounding<br />

pitch.<br />

Correctly transposes<br />

the example up a Major<br />

6th, providing the<br />

correct key signature.<br />

Provides the correct<br />

notes and accidentals<br />

for all intervals.<br />

Writes only two chords<br />

correctly, providing<br />

incorrect or no<br />

accidentals, indicating<br />

inconsistent knowledge<br />

of key signatures and<br />

chord structure.<br />

Provides the correct<br />

notes and key<br />

signature, but omits the<br />

raised 7ths and<br />

consequently<br />

incorrectly identifies the<br />
