P2 - E2

Explore, discuss and convey the character of the music

Ask learners to discuss the character of the music and how this influences the choice of tempi, dynamics, etc.

Discuss with learners how further improvements can be made to their playing.

This may be an opportunity to discuss professional practices such as:

  • Demo recording – a rough recording, part of planning for a more professional recording where performers and producers can agree upon the fine details.
  • Rough mix – an interim part of a production, where producers can listen back and critique the project so far. At this point learners may decide that parts need rerecording or overdubs added, or how best to proceed with the mix.
