At Grades 4-5 learners are taught to produce a performance which demonstrates a personal and imaginative interpretation in which there is reasonably consistent application of developing technical skills.  They are learning to perform in an audible and clear manner with appropriate articulation (e.g. volume, pitch, pace, rhythm, style, dynamics) leading to a secure, accurate and sustained performance which always conveys a sense of spontaneity. The learners should be able to support intentions in performance by demonstrating a sound understanding of material.  The learners also develop clear evidence of sensitivity to and considerable control of the material, which is grounded in effective preparation.  They learn to communicate shades of meaning and contrasts, for example of characterisation and mood, and can combine the use of voice, body and space effectively to enhance meaning and interpretation and to engage the audience.
