Component 2 - BTEC Tech Award in Music Practice

Hi all,

Here are a set of resources I have created for Component 2 of the Pearson BTEC Tech Award in Music Practice They are designed to give you an idea of how to tackle the course and also what an example portfolio may look like.

Due to Pearson guidance we are not allowed to give our students templates or tell them how to structure their portfolios. These resources will give you ideas, can be modified and start as a great jumping off point for your planning.

I am also a Music Technology specialist and have not seen any Music Technology exemplar material from Pearson. Again, this would help any students looking to work on a DAW and create a detailed production portfolio.

This pack includes: x6 Powerpoints in total. x3 skills audit lessons and x3 skills portfolio examples.

There are Skills Audit lesson ideas for composing, performing and producing. There is one Powerpoint per discipline, which ideas on skills to look at and ways to present.

Also, there are whole complete portfolio examples for performing, composing and producing. These include three skills for each and show how they have been developed through musical examples with diagrams. Please note, the performance portfolio does not feature any recordings. They do appear and are labeled as examples, yet there are not actually recordings of vocals as I am not a singer.

I will stress one last time that these are to be used as ideas, jumping off points and ways to kickstart your planning for component 2. I felt as there is little in the way of production information, this may be helpful to many.

Thanks for looking!
