For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I hope this makes sense!! I know somebody who did this subject at college and it seems that this is how they were taught. I think as long as you show them you can not get phased and keep going etc you wont have any problems! Good luck and keep us posted!
You need to show them that you can engage and enthuse a class. They are looking for your passion and enthusiasm rather than an amazing lesson (i would think)
Bear in mind that the panel won't necessarily know anything about music technology so maybe pick one aspect - eg the pentasomething scale and aim for all the panel to be able to tell you something about it at the end (assessment). Be simple - a starter activity will be best. If you want more (free) help - don't know nuffink about music technology but i know how to teach - email me via my website www.blueskydrama.co.uk.
Good luck x
Does it actually have to be about music? (obviously I realise it would be better if it was about music). It's just that my friend went for a job as an English teacher and had to do something similar. He spent 10 minutes doing a simple scientific experiment with a potato and got the job!
Could you take an instrument and explain how it works (eg why tightening a string etc will change the note).
10 minutes is nothing, you cannot do anything in detail in this time. Think of a question, (how do you make a hit record/ tune a trumpet - better if its quirky) pose that question and answer it.
For sure you can't cover 200 years of music in 10 mins.
They want to see if you can keep to the point, and time speak up, look att he audience, appear confident etc etc. What you actually cover is not so important.
I've been in situations like this, but never been given 10 mins, 20 minutes is tight.
