As a music practitioner, I strive to:-

Be well prepared and organised

	I can show that I have the specialist knowledge, skills and attitudes I need to work effectively, and that I am committed to filling any gaps
	I agree with contractors the reasons for the work to be done, and the desired outcomes
	I know enough about the setting I'm working in and its participants to ensure the success of the activity
	I turn up in time for work (or if I can't I let someone in charge know in good time)
	My appearance and behaviour are appropriate
	I keep in good communication with contractors and settings
	I keep up to date with all relevant paperwork, such as course planning documents, hand-outs, evaluation forms, invoices and budgets

Be safe and responsible

	I am committed to ensuring the safety of children and vulnerable adults in my care
	I ensure I have a relevant CRB disclosure if appropriate
	I ensure that the activity is adequately protected by insurance
	I ensure that risk assessments are carried out on my sessions; and I manage risks accordingly
	I agree with contractors and settings on policies and processes for appropriate behaviour and equal opportunities
	I can show purchasers references for my work
	I charge appropriately for my services, to reflect the extent and quality of the work that I do, and the continuing professional development I undertake
	I am clear and realistic about the extent of my skills in relation to the work I'm doing

Prepare for and reflect on my work

	I discuss with contractors and settings the work to be done, and agree its aims and its delivery
	I know how I will be able to provide quality, appropriate, music making experiences for the participants in each session
	I am clear about the support I will need from my contractors and settings; and I ensure this support is available
	I negotiate with my contractors and settings what monitoring data I need to collect, and I do so accurately and completely
	I reflect on my sessions after I have carried them out, learning lessons for improved performance in the future
	I discuss with my contractors and settings what evaluation needs to be carried out and who will do it; and I evaluate the work accordingly

Have appropriate musical skills

	I have an appropriate range of musical skills for the participants, settings and sessions I offer to work in
	I have sufficient expertise on my instrument or discipline
	(Unless the context clearly doesn't require them) I can demonstrate musical flexibility, versatility, creativity and improvisation ability
	I have appropriate musical resources to be able to adapt and react to changing circumstances during work

Work well with people

	I value my participants and treat them with respect
	I am empathetic and sensitive to both group and individual dynamics
