P2 - F1

Play produced music to others with a sense of occasion, e.g. in a concert, school assembly, examination, projecting the character of the music and acknowledging audience applause

Organise opportunities for produced pieces to be played with others of a similar standard in lessons, and occasionally for parents/carers, relatives and friends.

Give learners opportunity to play their music to others and allow constructive feedback, building on a range of acquired skills, knowledge and understanding. Simulated performances in lessons help to develop these skills before playing to larger audiences.

Remind learners where and how to stand or sit during recording sessions. If notation is used, ensure that stands are appropriately placed and at the correct height.

Refine pieces through simulated performances during instrumental lessons.

Aim to give understanding and meaning to the music. Learners should consider different ways of communicating the character of the music.
