In better responses, students were able to:

• clearly articulate features of duration, for example, rhythmic unison, time signatures changes, riffs and changes between each section
• write coherently with a clear focus on the given concept
• isolate each instrument and discuss their individual rhythmic roles
• use correct terminology.

Areas for students to improve include:

• ensuring that they have focus in their response
• understanding the difference between duration and pitch and/or texture ensuring specific and relevant discussion with use of appropriate terminology.
