2024 Music Contemporary Performance Exam Sample Answers
Here is my 2024 effort for Contemporary Performance.
This response is under timed conditions. As a result, there WILL be mistakes!! Please please please PM me when you find mistakes. I would love to fix them. There are many different ways of analysing.
It’s a real risk putting this out here as I’m sure anyone who teaches this subject is aware. Please give proper credit where appropriate and, if you’d like to give anything back, please let 2024 students and teachers know about the resources here and via our Facebook page. In particular the virtual events and other resources.
A note on my analysis for Question 2. I am not a contemporary performer. If I knew more about it I would have chosen sound production methods and I welcome anyone who would send their responses using sound production methods which I will put up as a demonstration of what’s possible. There is far more scope for writing on this subject hand on sound sources in my opinion.
Thanks again to Daniel Lijnders who sets up the discussion group and to Steven Majstorovic for his organisation and aid with resources.
I really hope you find this helpful.
