Foundational Skills: Work KEYS
• Communication
– Business Writing; Listening; Reading for
Information; Writing.
• Problem Solving
– Applied Technology, Applied Mathematics,
Locating information, Workplace Observation
• Interpersonal
– Teamwork
Reading for Information
• Skills to read and use written text in order to
do a job.
• Examples: memos, letters, directions, signs,
notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations.
• Not necessarily well-written or targeted to the
appropriate audience
• Does not include graphics
Reading Skills in Music
• Overall structural elements (global)
• Textual elements
– Sections
– Phrases
– Vocabulary
– Example: Sing Unto God
Applied Mathematics
• This assessment measures the skill people use
when they apply mathematical reasoning,
critical thinking, and problem-solving
techniques to work-related problems.
• Music applications—
– Measurement in music (time, pitch, intensity)
– Analysis skills
Business Writing
• Neutral to formal writing: Examples
•
•
•
•
Program notes
Critiques
“Technical writing”—descriptive writing
NOT--- “txtng”
• Error detection and editing for correctness
Writing
• Audiotaped messages that are:
• Rewritten exactly (aural dictation)
• Summarized (form and analysis)
• Other examples
• Marking music
• Rehearsal notes
Writing
• Suggested writing:
•
•
•
•
Critiques
Advocacy pieces
Historical summaries
Biographical material on composers or performers
Locating Information
• Measures skills with workplace graphics
– find information in a graphic (rehearsals)
– insert information into a graphic (marking scores)
• Compare, summarize, and analyze information
found in related graphics.
• MUSIC EXAMPLES: Score analysis; marching
band charts
Locating Information
• Characteristics of Items
• Very complicated and detailed
• Large amounts of information
• Or challenging formats
• One or more graphics are used at a time
– Connections between graphics may be subtle
Locating Information
• Skills
– Draw conclusions based on one complicated
graphic or several related graphics
– Apply information from one or more complicated
graphics to specific situations
– Use the information to make decisions
– Music examples: Sight reading; ensemble work;
improvisation or practice techniques
Teamwork
• Measures skills for choosing behaviors that
both:
• lead toward the accomplishment of work tasks
and support the relationships between team
members.
• A team = any workplace group with
• common goal and ownership of shared responsibility in
achieving that goal.
• MUSIC EXAMPLES: Ensemble work
Teamwork
• Structure and process planning:
• organizing the various parts of a problem or task, sequencing them,
and determining who will be responsible for them
• Create and revise team goals
• Shifting from one objective to another, depending on circumstances
• Integrate or synthesize multiple task components into a coherent
whole
• Be flexible in the roles they play on the team using active listening,
questioning, and directive behaviors
• Resolve conflict among team members and give negative feedback
in a constructive manner
• Build team cohesiveness by helping to create a feeling of unity
within the team
Examples of Teamwork
• Sectionals, rehearsals:
•
•
•
•
Marching band
Chamber ensembles
Jazz groups
Pickup and pit bands and orchestras
• Soloists with Accompanists
• Virtually everything we do!!!
Observation Skills
• On-the-job training
• "learn by doing" skills.
• Visually observe
• notice details, and remember instructions,
procedures, processes, and demonstrations in
order to generalize to workplace situations that
may be similar or very different from what was
observed
• MUSIC EXAMPLES: Rehearsing, performing for
a conductor, ensemble performances
Listening Skills
• Primary information = given and is correct
• THE SCORE
• Accurate supporting information ito convey
insight regarding tone or attitude
• Conductor’s interpretation
• Accurately convey the relationships among
the pieces of information in the message
• MUSIC EXAMPLES: Read score accurately but
follow conductor’s direction.
TECHNOLOGY
Applied Technology
•
•
•
•
•
Reasoning, not math.
Analyze problem and its parts
Decide what is important
Order of tasks.
Apply existing tools, materials, or methods to
new situations.
• Musical Examples: PRACTICE SKILLS and
REHEARSAL SKILLS
Applied Technology
• Complex tools or systems with more than ten
components (instruments? Scores?)
• Possible problem sources that are subtle and
difficult to diagnose (Error detection)
• Technical knowledge (Signatures: key/meter)
• Extraneous information (Multi-line scores)
• Technical terms (Tempo markings?)
