A COVID Guide to Studying Music at Coulsdon

  

image from https://www.timeout.com/news/face-masks-just-became-the-hottest-music-merch-of-2020

Our Music courses normally involve group rehearsals, singing and sharing of music equipment, all of which are now coming under restrictions due to COVID. Some changes will be necessary but we are doing our best to ensure all students can continue to study their courses with minimal disruption. 

The following guide explains how Music lessons will be taught under revised health and safety guidelines. We kindly ask Music students to respect and co-operate with these 8 areas of guidelines to reduce risks to all students and staff. 

1. CLASSROOM LESSONS

Lessons will still be held in class, although some teachers in the college may be teaching online from home, just as some students may be learning from home due to health reasons, shielding a family member or isolating with the virus. Important lesson resources will also be shared online, so students should check Moodle regularly.

During class lessons, it will be necessary to keep to a fixed seating plan to minimise possible contamination of computers. 

At least one classroom window should be open in each room during the day to ventilate the space.

Students should use the hand sanitiser in corridors on the way to and from lessons. Students may wear masks or other PPE if they choose to. 

2. CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT & INSTRUMENTS

All classroom equipment, including computer keyboards and mice, guitars and instruments, should be wiped before and after use. Teachers will supply wipes. The microphones will be regularly sterilised but should also be externally wiped. As usual, equipment such as microphones, cables and headphones must be signed out, treated carefully and returned before the end of the lesson. 

No equipment, including instruments or computers, should be shared until it has been cleaned first. 

Students should bring their own pens and stationery equipment to lessons. 

Technology students should bring their own headphones. 

Any music books that are used should be left to one side and pointed out to the lecturer at the end of the lesson. Pages can be photocopied to prevent regular use of the same book. 

3. RECORDING AND LIVE SOUND DESKS

This equipment should be very carefully and gently wiped before and after use, since over-cleaning may damage the equipment. It is also possible to operate this equipment from phones and tablets via virtual controller apps, which can limit the risk of contamination due to handling.

4. REHEARSAL ROOMS & GROUPS

The small rehearsal rooms (214 - Drum room, 215 - Piano room, 217 - Mixing room) will now have a limit of one music student only. As always, these rooms are off-limits to non-Music students and any student inviting guests to these rooms will lose the privilege of using the room. 

The larger rehearsal room, 213, can accommodate a group of up to five students working at a 2 metre distance. 

To facilitate social distancing, full groups could work as pairs instead, such as:  

• one singer and one guitarist or keyboardist
• one guitarist/singer and a drummer, 
• one keyboardist/singer, one bass player and a programmed rhythm track

Singers could work with backing tracks and guitarists with loop pedals. With smaller groups, songs could be creatively re-interpreted to 'unplugged' or stripped-back arrangements.

5. SINGING

Singing is an activity with a higher risk of infection spread, so groups of two or more singers should either stand back-to-back or side-to-side in a line, at a sensible distance from each other. The room must also be well-ventilated with at least one open window. 

6. LIVE EVENTS & LIVE SOUND ENGINEERS

Live gigs can be given online or to camera with virtual audiences. Live sound engineers can work in small teams with a small number of performers. Shows can be edited to professional standards using free Open Broadcaster software, such as https://obsproject.com

7. RECORDING AND MIXING AT HOME

Technology (and interested Performance students) should take advantage of the free recording and mixing software available for use on computers and phones: 

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/free-music-production-software/

https://www.musictech.net/guides/buyers-guide/free-music-making-mobile-apps/

8. COVID SYMPTOMS

Any student  who becomes unwell with symptoms of COVID-19 whilst onsite must inform their tutor and/or lecturer then go home immediately and be advised to follow the Government COVID-19: guidance for households with possible coronavirus infection guidance

If you are unable to go home immediately, you should ask to be escorted to an on-site isolation room to wait.  

All BTEC Courses - Start and End Dates, Marking, Resubmissions, Extensions, Late Submissions & Re-takes

 

Here is a guide on:  

• submitting work, 
• receiving your grades, 
• late submissions, 
• resubmitting work, 
• requesting an extension,  
• re-taking a unit if you do not pass. 

Further guidance on all of these topics can be found in the BTEC Course Handbook on Moodle. 

📅  START, END & MILESTONE DATES 

All BTEC units have a start and end date, when all final work is due. This can be found at the top of the assignment brief. 

For instance: 

Unit 5

Start Date: 10th September 2020

End Date: 10th December 2020

In this example, Unit 5 has 3 tasks: 

• Task 1 has a milestone date of 8th October 
• Task 2 has a milestone date of 12th November. 
• Task 3 is due at the end of the project on 10th December. 

Students should submit Tasks 1 and 2 to Moodle by the milestone dates, so the lecturer can check their work and give general feedback to the class (teachers cannot give specific feedback on grades to students until after the Unit end date). 

Students can continue to improve their Tasks 1 and 2 evidence based on the general class feedback before the final end date. 

😎 Milestone dates also allow students to spread their workload across the term rather than attempting all unit tasks in the final week that work is due. 

SUBMITTING WORK

All tasks should be uploaded on time to the hand-in folders under each unit section on Moodle. Moodle will accept uploads of most files, including Word, Powerpoint and Excel documents, mp3s and others. Students should avoid uploading PDFs as it is not possible for the lecturer to add typed comments onto these. 

✅ When you upload work to Moodle, you will be asked to tick a box confirming the work is your own and not copied from any other source. This will count as your 'declaration of authenticity' for your BTEC submission. Your written work will also be checked by the TURNITIN app, which checks your submission against written text online to ensure that you have only used short quotations. 

For this reason, you must also submit a copy of any written work on a blog to Moodle. Simply paste your written blog submissions into one Word document and upload it to Moodle. 

💯RECEIVING GRADES 

Your work will be marked within a three-week term-time period to allow time for first marking and for a sample of marked work and the grades to be checked and agreed by a second member of staff. Your work will be returned to you with comments via Moodle. Your grade will also be recorded on MyPT. 

LATE SUBMISSIONS

If a student has missed the final end date for a unit, they must immediately contact their lecturer and agree a new hand-in date, within a fortnight of the original submission date. Any student handing work in late loses the right to request a resubmission.

🔄 RESUBMISSIONS 

After the marked work is returned, if the student thinks they can improve their grade, they may request the chance to resubmit and must then notify their lecturer of their request. The lecturer will only agree to a resubmission if: 

• all of the original work was submitted on time by the unit End Date 
• the lecturer has authenticated the original work as the student's own and believes that it is possible for the student to improve their grade by working independently with no further help from the lecturer. 

The lecturer will then grant a resubmission and state a new hand-in date. Your work will be marked within two weeks, allowing time for a second lecturer to agree the grade is fair and accurate. 

➕DEADLINE EXTENSIONS

If a student knows in advance of genuine circumstances beyond their control that may cause them to miss a deadline, then the student should inform their lecturer no less than 2 weeks before the deadline to request an extension. Extensions are agreed at the discretion of the lecturer. 

FAILING A UNIT

If a student submits incomplete work, fails a resubmission or submits work that is plagiarised (copied from somewhere else - see below) then this can mean they have failed the unit. In this case, the student is normally offered the opportunity to take a new unit once all other units have been completed on the course (usually in May). This new unit will be a different unit from the other units on the course (i.e. re-take students will not repeat a previously taken unit) and the maximum grade awarded will be a Pass. 

❗PLAGIARISM

Students are encouraged to use websites, books, videos, television programmes and other sources to research their work. Any quotations taken from these sources should be kept brief. Longer quotations should be summarised. If a large amount of text is copied, students are at risk of being accused of plagiarism, suggesting that they have not done the work themselves but copied it from somewhere else. A student accused of plagiarism risks failing the unit and the course and is risking their place at college. For further guidance on how to avoid plagiarism, see the blog on Harvard Referencing. 

Music Technology - 30 Credit Certificate - A Guide To BTEC Grading

This article has been adapted from Donna Hollick's Coulsdon College guide to BTEC Grading for BTEC RQF Certificate in Travel & Tourism, Sept 2020

You are studying the BTEC Level 3 RQF Certificate in Music Technology. Your qualification size is 180 Guided Learning Hours and is equivalent in size to 0.5 of an A Level.  You will be studying 2 units, one internally-marked coursework and the other is an externally-marked exam. 

The following grades can be awarded for the certificate:

• Pass 
• Merit 
• Distinction
• Distinction*

Unit 6 – DAW Production 

You will be assessed for this unit by an external exam.

The marks below show how many points you will get for each grade. 

 

Unit 2 – Studio Recording Techniques 

This unit is assessed by coursework. The table below shows the number of points available for this unit.  For unit 2, points are allocated depending on the grade awarded. To get each grade – all criteria within the grade must be achieved.

For example 

Unit 2 consists of 

• Pass grades - P1, P2, P3, P4, P5
• Merit grades – M1, M2, M3 and M4, M5
• Distinction grades – D1, D2, D3

IMPORTANT - HOW YOUR GRADE IS CALCULATED

You must achieve all the criteria above to get a Distinction,

all the Pass and Merits to get a Merit,

and all the Passes to get a Pass.

If you get all the Pass grades and all of the Distinctions, but only 2 of the Merits – your overall unit grade will be a Pass. 

 The grades awarded for Unit 2 can be seen below:

 

To calculate your overall grade, the points from Unit 6 are added to the points from Unit 2 to give you your overall grade

The points awarded from Unit 6 and Unit 2 will be added together to calculate the final grade which you can see in the table above.

For Example

Mohammed achieved a Pass for Unit 6 and got 12 points. He prefers coursework though and got a Distinction for Unit 2 which is 16 points. Mohammed has 28 points altogether so Mohammed was awarded a Merit for his BTEC Certificate in Music Technology. 

Practice time!

1. Agatha studied a BTEC Certificate in Music Technology. She gets a Near Pass in her exam for Unit 6 and a Merit for Unit 2 coursework – what is her grade overall?

2. Rupert also studied on the same course – he got a Distinction in Unit 6 and a Merit in Unit 2 – what was his overall grade?

3. Mabel studied on the same course. She did very well and got Distinctions on both units – what was her grade overall?

4. Cliff struggled on the course and was awarded a Near Pass on the Unit 6 exam and got a Pass in the Unit 2 coursework – what grade did he achieved overall?

5. Priya studied with the group and got a Merit for the Unit 6 exam and a Pass for the Unit 2 coursework – what grade did Priya gain overall?

How to upload website links, photos, video & audio files (& emojis! 🤗 )

These four icon buttons allow you to add weblinks, pictures, videos and emojis! 

When you add:  

• weblinks - tick the box to open the link in a new page so the reader can still view your blog at the same time
• pictures - add a caption with the web address to show where it's from (use smallest size font)
• videos - you can link directly from Youtube or upload from a phone or computer
• audio files - see below

Audio files cannot be directly uploaded, as Blogger does not have an MP3 player. Instead, you can include audio recordings link to a website (1) or to a storage cloud (2)

Method 1. Play from a music website (e.g. Soundcloud, etc)

Simply paste the html link into Create/Edit URL or into Insert Video

Method 2. Link directly to file from an online Cloud 

First, upload your MP3 files on an audio hosting service like Google Drive, Dropbox etc... because you can't upload and save audio files on Blogger directly.

Then put it into post's HTML editor not the text editor. 

** Make sure you copy the link to the file itself (from 'right click' menu) and not the web address for the audio player page that opens when you click on the file**

7 Top Tips for Rehearsal

image from https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes

Why do we rehearse? 🎸

Musicians rehearse to learn new songs and new skills, plus maintain existing ones. Just as athletes and sportspeople need to train to improve their abilities and keep in shape, so musicians have to rehearse. 

Rehearsal increases our capacity to succeed and achieve our dreams. At college, a well-rehearsed performance leads to such outcomes as achieving your target grades, achieving personal satisfaction and also respect from your peers. To a working musician or band, a well-rehearsed performance means fulfilling ambitions, such as increased financial success, increased fanbase and the pleasure of doing the job they love. 

Groups with two or more musicians rehearse to decide and practise each song's key, tempo, structure, style, rhythm, balance of volumes, etc to ensure a co-ordinated group performance. 

What are the benefits of rehearsal? 🎤

Rehearsal brings confidence -  performing in front of others can be unnerving, but rehearsal will give you the confidence to impress an audience, earning their respect and providing a genuinely entertaining performance.

Rehearsal is also about discovery - discovering the secrets of how music you love actually works and also learning about your self. Musicians who rehearse over a period of time will notice how much more confident they feel about attempting new challenges. 

What should a rehearsal include?  🎹

There are many different ways to rehearse, but it is always important to start with warm-ups to get your voice or fingers working and avoid any strain or damage. Once you're warmed up, activities should be chosen to help you progress towards your goals (e.g. learning new repertoire, increasing singer's pitch range or pianist's dexterity, etc) and you should end your rehearsals by making a note of how much progress has been made on each goal.

Set yourself 'Mini-Outcomes' - can I improve how I play this bar or sing that note?

Look for 'Personal Bests' - what have you done today that you didn't think you could do before?

Make your rehearsals goals-based 🎤

You should start by working out what skills you need to learn to play your new set of songs. You can then plan your rehearsal time with a ticklist, focusing on the main areas for improvement. As you see improvement in your progress, rehearsals should start to feel positive, helpful and even fun! Try and keep to a sensible level of rehearsal to avoid burnout or being under-rehearsed. Rehearsals should be a minimum of 30 minutes, 3 times a week to start seeing a difference in your skills. Decide where is best to rehearse, either at home, college or other music rehearsal space.

7 top tips for making the most of rehearsals 

1. Choose Warm-Ups that match your goals

Warm-ups should be chosen to help you progress your target areas, such as exercises getting gradually faster to help learn fast passages, or scales climbing higher to prepare you for singing high notes. There are routines on Youtube for all instruments and free singing apps such as Vocalizzo. Remember your goals and find the right combinations of activities to ensure you are 

2. Slow down the tricky parts 

Fast songs or intricate, tricky sections may be easier to learn if slowed down. Set your metronome to a slower tempo or your Youtube backing track to a slower speed, until you're accurate with the section you're learning. You can also use apps to slow down recordings, such as these apps on Google Play or other recording programs, such as LOGIC X. 

3. Start from the tricky bit, not the beginning

If you keep getting stuck on part of a song, it's best to start from that difficult part when you rehearse. This is to avoid wasting time and energy always starting from the part you can already play smoothly. Once you have mastered the tricky part (maybe by slowing it down as in tip #2 above), play it three times correctly to lock it in, then perform the whole song from the beginning. 

4. Singers - check your pitch with a piano or tuning app

Singers should check their pitch by comparing their sung note to a note played on a piano (or free online piano) or by singing into a pitch-measuring app 

5. Create your own regular routine 

Once you've set your goals, create a simple routine that is easy to repeat at each rehearsal. Make sure you plan your rehearsal activities and find everything you need before you start rehearsing. This way,  you can avoid distractions that can disrupt your rehearsal schedule, such as searching for new videos on Youtube, etc. Keep a schedule, such as 10 mins of various warm-ups, 20 mins of repertoire and 10 mins of freestyle, improvisation or jamming to a backing track. Make a ticklist chart with a column for each day's date and tick off each activity to show your progress. Try sticking to the same time each day to help you keep to a regular routine. 

6. Keep your instruments and resources ready

It's easier to start quickly on rehearsals if all the equipment you need to rehearse with is already set up and ready to use. Reducing the time spent setting up instruments and equipment will save you valuable energy for rehearsal. 

7. Get to know your material well

Rehearsal will help you know your songs inside out, empowering you to truly capture and hold the audience's attention. Use rehearsal time to find out which lines or sections of a song require a change in dynamics from soft to loud or other expression. To really know your song well, you can print out a copy of the lyrics or score and use highlighter pens to mark up different sections, such as red for loud and blue for soft, or yellow to draw attention to challenging sections.
