ASSIGNMENT 4A {Word Document} - Your list only shows the 4 pieces which you have chosen to perform. You have only provided a proper description of one of those pieces. Your list
of pieces for your vocal performance is attainable at your vocal performance level. It shows contrast in genre and even in type of voice. You have commented on the reason for three of
your choices. Grading criteria for P1 met.

ASSIGNMENT 4B {Word Document} - You have listed five of the practise techniques for voice but you have provided no evidence or even statement that you have personally used these.
Grading criteria for P2 met.

ASSIGNMENT 4C {Videos saved to dropbox folders} Performances completed on 31-May-16 but recordings were lacking in audio quality. Second performance completed on 14-Jun-16.
Some changes made to set list in both performances. It would have been good to have seen some commentary in Assignment B on why these repertoire changes were made. You
performances were satisfactory despite some struggles with pitch in upper register. You were reasonably well-prepared to sing your songs but your performance somewhat lacked the
targeted aspects of expression, command of audience and style. Grading criteria for P3 met.

Your overall grade for Unit 4 now stands as a PASS.
