Picture / timing
Hit points: Plan significant events; accents need not match every movement
Cue duration: At 120 crotchets per minute, ten 4/4 bars last 20 seconds
Digital checks: MIDI carries instructions; audition timing and joins in exported audio
Listen / explain
Located evidence: Connect an audible feature and its change to a likely effect
Compare like elements: Explain both passages using the same element and precise terms
Hear / notate
Score / dictation: Establish clef, key, beat and contour; check durations fit the bar
Create / improve
Practice cue: Storyboard, motif, contrast and instrumental limits guide development
Evaluate evidence: Recorded comparison supports one focused practical improvement
Connections
Picture / timing → Create / improve: A storyboard and cue calculation help turn a musical intention into timed sound.
Listen / explain → Hear / notate: Listening evidence and score reading check each other; text recall cannot replace dictation.
