YES/NO
6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
YES/NO
7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? YES/NO

Planning and instructing group training to music sessions
Participant information and risk assessment An overview of the participant group, e.g. average age, gender, activity
levels, health status, outcomes of any screening, number of participants. Common goals of the session, participants and level of the session, e.g.
mixed ability. A summary of hazards and risk management measures for the
environment and equipment. Any special considerations or arrangements, e.g. room temperature,
floor surface, space, number of participants, footwear checks, drinking water.
Emergency information – location of the nearest telephone, first aid kit and name of duty first aider.
Group training session plan A warm-up and mobility component appropriate to the main activity (plan
a minimum of 6-12 minutes). A main component using a whole-body approach (plan a minimum of 30-
40 minutes). A cool-down and flexibility component (plan a minimum of 5 minutes).
- Incorporating static and/or dynamic stretching and developmental and maintenance stretching, as appropriate.
The session plan must detail the following for each exercise component: Exercise and activities. Choreography structure appropriate to the component and participants’
needs using a minimum of three of the following: o Verse-chorus.o Reverse pyramid.o Link part to whole.o Add-on.o Layering.o Cross-phrasing.o Pure repetition.
Music breakdown. Appropriate music selection. Equipment (where used). Coaching points, including; cueing, scripting, the use of silence and
motivation techniques. Progressions. Regressions. Alternatives.
Step two
Summative observation
The independent assessor will observe you instructing your group training to music session.
Step three
Self-evaluation
50
Using a combination of your own self-reflections and feedback collected from your participants following the instruction of the planned session, complete the session self-evaluation.
In order to prepare for this assessment, you are offered a practice (mock) submission of up to a class demonstration (you can choose to undertake this on-course, face-to-face with your Tutor Assessor or submit filmed material).
