The score is accurate and contains detailed performance directions appropriate to the chosen style of the music.

6 Marking scheme The composition is largely effective. The candidate demonstrates some understanding of the musical ideas in relation to the Areas of Study and strand. There is a competent handling of the musical ideas. Writing for instruments, voices and sound sources demonstrates some understanding of the techniques required. The score shows some accuracy but may contain some omissions and/or inaccuracies.

7 Marking scheme 6 4 The composition works but at a basic level. The candidate demonstrates a basic understanding of the musical ideas presented in relation to the Areas of Study and strand. There may be some incoherence in the handling of musical ideas. Writing for instruments, voices and sound sources appears simplistic and may lack finish. The score shows inconsistencies and is not accurately presented.
