What an assessment for MSFPT4011 must cover

26 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan and prepare for tuning temperaments

1.1Analyse and confirm job requirements with personnel, customer or from workplace documentation
1.2Identify and follow work health and safety requirements including physical and ergonomic needs
1.3Establish and maintain communication with others involved with work to ensure efficient workflow, coordination, personnel cooperation and safety
1.4Analyse written instructions and apply to job requirements
1.5Select tools and equipment consistent with needs of job, inspect for serviceability and safety, and repair any faults or report in accordance with workplace procedures

2 Tune temperament

2.1Tune start note in temperament octave from established pitch reference
2.2Tune temperament octave using 4th and 5th cycle, following a set order of notes
2.3Confirm correct positions using 3rd and 6th checks individually and chromatically

3 Clean up work area

3.1Check, clean and store equipment and any unused materials in accordance with workplace procedures
3.2Clean work area, safely dispose of waste and identify items for recycling in accordance with workplace procedures and environmental standards

Performance evidence

tune at least two temperament octaves to produce an equally tempered scale on at least one upright or one grand piano.

Knowledge evidence

workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for tuning pianos
types, characteristics, uses, limitations and preparation of materials and equipment used in piano tuning
types of tools and equipment used to regulate actions, keys and pedals and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance, including: - pitch standard - tuning lever/hammer - temperament strip - mutes and wedges - tip wrench - tuning tips and heads
how to identify and work from the start note (the note in the temperament octave that corresponds to the note tuned from the pitch standard)
how to identify and work from the pitch reference (the first note tuned on piano from pitch standard generally accepted as being A49/C52 or corresponding notes one octave below, which are A37/C40)
how to identify and work with a temperate octave (notes F 33 through to F 45, with some temperaments spread over 1½ octaves)
problem identification for temperate octaves and resolution
set-up and operation of tools and equipment used for tuning pianos
procedures for recording, reporting and maintaining workplace records and information
best physical and ergonomic approaches to promote muscle control and avoid fatigue, including: - standing or seated according to type of piano and height of individual - evenly distributing body weight between both feet while standing to reduce fatigue - use a resting arm, where available, to aid control during tuning and reduce tiredness
