Performance Time

Does anyone know for sure what the time restrictions are on the performance pieces? ie. the time limit for:
1.) Core Perf
2.)Additional Perf (x2)
3.) and Extension Perf (x3)

5 minutes each

Please do not use such big font.

Music 2 Core Performance Time: 5 minutes
Music 2 Performance Elective: Total Time of 10 minutes

Music Extension is not 5 minutes each. 2 solo pieces (30 marks) and 1 Ensemble piece (20 marks) and the total time is 20 minutes.

yep, ext is 20 mins all up, but you wana stick to 5 mins for each piece, addin up to a total of 15 - because if your program is too long the markers will get bored. Also, its harder for you to play longer and keep your concentration. Dont go over time - youl get penalised.

dont worry, ive got good endurance

Is it ok for music 2 performance elective, for which there is a time limit of 10 minutes for two pieces, to do a piece that is longer than five minute and another that is shorter (eg. 8 minutes and 2 minutes)?
I seem to remember hearing from somewhere that they are meant to be two pieces each <5 minutes in length...
Thanks.

Good luck if you're playing a wind/brass instrument.

In our trials, my friend had to play (on saxomaphone) all six of her pieces (she did muisc2 & ext) for her music trials 1 and a half hours before her english trials. She ended up with a huge migrane and felt like she wasn't getting enough air

But for her actual HSC, she's done it heaps of times so she did great!

5 mins max for Core,
15 mins for Elective Music 2 Performance
20 mins alltogether for Extension pieces

 

[ja`-/se]

oh, so 15 mins for the elective? i thought it was 10

 

[Bunny04]

nope 15 cause if you do performance in Music 2 And Extension it totals to a 40 minute exam time plus Sight Singing *shudders* I haAAATTEEEE Sight singing, but it is easy.. meh

performance length

so the max for music 2 core is.... 5 minutes?? is there a minimum? i am concerned my piece might be too short, as i'm just doing the 1st movement probs... hmmm.

 

[moon_styla]

its ok if its too short... as long as it isn't like 10 seconds or 30 seconds.

 

[ujuphleg]

*bump*....

 

[soulshine]

my piece is about 1:50. maybe i should learn another movement...

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

ohhhh 40 mins full on hardcore brain busting lung draining sax playing.
im gonna need to do lots of endurance practices for that sheesh
6 pieces. gonna be fun lol

 

[kibb]

lol u poor bastard! good luck wid that mate! i got it easy only 5 mins per peice and i only have 3 of em so thats easy shit for me but playin 4 40 mins straight thats strecthin it a bit!

that sounds like a really long performance.... are u sure its the right amount of time?

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

according to bunny04 it is, (2nd or 3rd post in this thread).

core piece + 2 additional topic pieces + 3 extension pieces all 5 mins each that totals to 30 mins actually.. maybe the extension ones are a bit longer.. we'll see how it goes

my music teacher said that i can organise my pieces in any order i like, so ill have hard/easy/hard/easy/hard/easy type thing going on, hehe

 

[Zoltan]

Alls I know is the limit for the core perf is 5 minutes, and the limit for all 3 extension pieces is 20 minutes.

 

[bringbackshred]

OK, I do Music 1 (Thank you very much Public School system) and I'm doing a couple of performances for the HSC. With these performances, how strict are the markers on the 5 minute time limit? Say I want to play a piece that is 5:30 to 6min in length, would I get marked down? And how far over would I be albe to go over 5min before i get marked down?

 

[ujuphleg]

I'm pretty sure the lee-way limit is half a minute either way for a 5 minute time limit, anything under 4:30 or over 5:30 will be penalised.

But it may have changed, I can't imagine much though...
