NSC PAST PAPERS AND MEMOS
SEPTEMBER 2017
Although every endeavour is made to ensure that quality papers are produced, however as a result of technical glitches sometimes do not go as planned. The Music P1 Grade 12 September was written on Monday, 11 September 2017. In order to address this and to ensure that learners are not disadvantages the following standardised approach to marking must be adopted across the Province. The following guidelines with regard to marking was prepared in conjunction with the examiner and moderator.
As a result of the fact that the scores are not clear enough for analysis, the following marks should be awarded.
QUEST. | COMMENT | MARKS |
1.4 (ii) | Award the mark | (1) |
1.6 (iii) | The question does not ask for a key signature but the marking guideline give ½ mark for a key signature. It also gives a ½ mark for the clef although a treble key is given in the question paper. Award 1 mark for the minor key, ½ for the semibreves, 1 mark for the correct notes and ½ mark for the correct position. | |
1.7.1 | The learner should be able to give the correct clef but award 1 mark as a result of the notes not being clear on the score. | (1) |
1.7.2 | The learner should be able to give the correct time signature but award 1 mark for the notes as a result of the notes not being clearly visible. |
3.1.6 | Award marks if the learner only writes passing notes since it is not compulsory to identify accented or unaccented passing notes. | |
3.2 | Award all the marks as a result of the poor quality printing. | |
