1. INTRODUCTION
The 18 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical
component, all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:
AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural
Technology
ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts
SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information
Technology, Technical Sciences, Technical Mathematics
SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism
TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical
Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design
A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final
promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and
counts 25% (100 marks) of the final promotion mark. The PATs are implemented across
the first two terms of the school year. This may be broken down into different phases or
a series of smaller activities that make up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be
assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the
assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. in a test or
examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the
practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that learners have a
PAT mark at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of the PAT differs
from subject to subject.
2. TEACHER AND LEARNER GUIDELINES
2.1 How to administer the PATs
Music has TWO practical assessment tasks (PATs) which carries a weight of 25%
of the final promotion mark. Test 1 (Term 1), and Preliminary Examinations
(Term 3) make up the school-based assessment (SBA) mark which also carries a
weighting of 25% of the final promotion mark.
The PATs ensure that the teacher directly and systematically observes learners'
acquired competences, which include practical performance and improvisation
skills, and notated creative output.
The PATs are to be completed during the first two terms of the Grade 12 year. The
planning and completion of the PATs may be done at the teacher's discretion, and
in any order.
The practical tasks of PAT 1 must be done in the form of a single concert
performance while the written tasks of PAT 2 may be done as a series of smaller
tasks over several weeks.
The PATs correspond closely with the curriculum material for Music and form part
of the teaching and assessment activities.
At least 40% of PAT 2 must be done in class under supervision of the teacher, who
must authenticate the work as the learner's own.
The examples in this PAT document serve as a basic guideline only. Teachers may
compile their own PATs which are more appropriate in their own specific contexts.
These PATs must be of the same standard as the examples given here.
If there is only one Music teacher at a school, all the performance-based tasks
(PAT 1 and the practical examinations) must be assessed with a Music teacher
from a neighbouring school, the subject advisor or an independent music specialist.
Comprehensive and appropriate moderation practices at school, district and
provincial levels must be in place for the quality assurance of the PATs.

There are THREE (3) options below. Candidates have to choose only ONE (1).
Assessment
The concert performance, the written programme notes and the business plan must
be assessed by at least TWO (2) Music teachers/specialists.
Evidence of the assessment of the concert performance, the written programme notes
and the business plan must be placed in each learner's file.
4.1.1 Performance option 1 – Repertoire Piece (50)
Performance (30)
Each learner must perform ONE (1) piece in a concert or performance class. This piece
must be polished and performance-ready, and should form part of his/her final practical
examination repertoire.
Programme notes (10)
Each learner must write programme notes of 120–150 words on the piece performed.
The information should include reference to the composer, historical facts, the form and
relevant style characteristics of the piece.
Business plan (10)
Each learner must present a written plan for the concert pertaining to budget and
copyright.
Budget: The budget should include the pricing structure of a recognised concert
venue for the specific style of music, artists' fees, copyright fees and any extras
(hiring of instruments/lighting/sound technicians, etc.).
Copyright: A completed application form for the performance rights of the specific
work must be included regardless of how old the composition is. In the case of a new
work a completed copyright registration application must be included.
4.1.2 Performance option 2 – Improvisation (50)
Performance (30)
Each learner must perform ONE (1) improvisation of a minimum of 24 bars in a concert
or performance class while being accompanied by a suitable instrument(s) or backtrack.
Timeframe: The accompaniment material (chord progression or backtrack) for the
improvisation must be provided to the learner at least two weeks prior to the actual
improvisation performance in order for the learner to prepare.
Actual performance: During the actual performance the learner may only have the
chord progression, chord chart or lead sheet in front of him/her. The accompaniment
must be played once as an introduction and then it must be repeated while the learner
improvises. For percussion instruments the accompanying rhythm must be played
throughout.
Instruments:
(a) All performances must include melodic and rhythmic improvisation, except for
non-melodic percussion instruments.
(b) Guitar, piano, keyboard and organ performances may consist of single-line
improvisations, as will be the case on all wind, brass and string instruments.
(c) Learners performing on transposing instruments must take care to prepare their
improvisation in the correct key so that it matches the accompaniment in concert
pitch. Separate chord charts/lead sheets must be provided for all transposing
instruments.
Style: The style of the improvisation is not prescribed. The teacher may provide
suitable material relevant to the style of music that the learner studies.

8. CONCLUSION
On completion of the practical assessment task learners should be able to
demonstrate their understanding of the industry, enhance their knowledge, skills,
values and reasoning abilities as well as establish connections to life outside the
classroom and address real-world challenges. The PAT furthermore develops
learners' life skills and provides opportunities for learners to engage in their own
learning.
