Thanks so much! This is the outline I am planning to use in a week for music trials. It has 5 excerpts which I know is a few too many, but I might cut it down before the HSC.
Awesome!! As a tip for the excerpts straight off, try demo-ing what you wanted to show instead. For example, just be like, "Oh, this is the chord progression in Rebecca Black's Friday," and play it on piano or guitar or something. Faster than the excerpt, does the same thing, and you get to show off
might work?
I really like this outline, I think it gives you a really clear direction. The trick to think is, does it give the marker clear direction? This is actually perfect, because I have exactly the same information your Viva markers will have, and I'm not 100% sure what you mean by 'Similarities' and 'Differences', do you mean with Baroque Music? If that is the focus of your Viva, that's awesome, make it a bit more obvious in the title of your Viva? You don't want the markers confused
As a perhaps contradiction to that idea of clarity, I also think you should be a
tiny bit more vague with the musical points you wish to discuss. For example instead of saying 'Tonality - Minor keys more regularly used,' just say
Tonality! The idea with those dot points is to give your markers a launch point for their questions, you
don't want to answer their questions for them! You don't want, "Oh, so minor tonalities are more often used, tell me about that?", you want, "Okay, tell me about the use of tonality?"
This is an awesome outline, but it needs a little more detail in the headings/overall structure, and less detail for the individual points, in my opinion
PS - I've been dying to find my old Viva Voce Outline but I think I lost it!! Such sadness
