Other Work Samples for:

Dale has demonstrated a high level of competence in organising musical ideas into a composition. The piece has a steady rhythm with effective use of ostinato patterns and tone colour. A wider variety of dynamics, tone colours and more complicated rhythms would have enhanced the composition, but Dale has demonstrated a thorough understanding of canon and ostinato. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard at the end of Stage 3.
