To support you with planning your delivery of the ACMD qualifications, and with evidencing your learners’ music making, we have a selection of resources available to download below. We will add new resources to this web page as and when they are created.
Document displaying the Sounds of Intent learning outcomes and assessment criteria together in one place. By having everything you need in one place, this should help aid your planning and assessment work.
Blank assessment evidence template This document needs to be used when you’re assessing each learners’ video recordings of their music making. Within this document is a template for each of the three domains where you can write the candidate’s name, include the video link and then write the contextual information, observations and interpretations of what’s happening in each video for each domain. You should then add the Sounds of Intent level the learner is working at for each domain, and whether they are emerging, achieving or excelling (EAX).
Examples of completed assessment evidence templates Below you will find some made up examples of completed assessment evidence forms including links to accompanying videos where possible, to give you some ideas on what to write for the contextual information, observations and interpretations. There is one full completed form covering all three domains and then a number of other forms covering different single domains.
Below you will find a number of videos from ACMD centres who have been through the moderation process. They are real examples of videos submitted for the qualifications showing their learners making music. We have also included the accompanying assessment evidence form.
