2) They make an attempt to match up these layers with the visual an are reasonably successful with this. They attempt and are successful i

some success. Musical style clear.

They are aware of dynamics and attempt to use.
3) They select appropriate instrumentation to support their work. They might attempt to vary the existing themes. Musical style clear.
5
Fluency with mostly correct rhythms and pitches. Hesitance and technical errors may sometimes disturb the flow. Some attention to dynamics and articulation,
although there may be some sense of direction.
1) Student successfully perform 2 out of the 4 James Bond Leitmotif/themesin time with each other on separate layers in a live performance.
2) They attempt to match these up in time
with the visual with some success - they might get one section in tim but then play it to slow or fast to match the visual at another point.
3) Instrumentation is generally appropriate - some slips - e.g. a sci-fi sound that doesn't support the mood of the trailer. There is a sense of musical style but not always consistent

1/2
Some/limited accuracy and fluency. Very limited accuracy and fluency. Intonation (where relevant) may be poor. Attempts
to communicate the piece in a simple way with little or no success.
