Throughout the school-year students are asked to perform exercises that we have focused on in class, to assess their progress and locate areas that need improvement. These assessments can include a challenging excerpt from a piece we are studying or scales we have isolated are practiced during class. Students are evaluated on their performance of specific musical concepts such as: tone, rhythm, note accuracy, articulation, dynamics, pitch, expression/style, phrasing, technique (percussion), and sticking pattern (percussion). The musical concept that is evaluate depends on the musical selections that is chosen. Please visit the links below to familiarize yourself with our evaluation tool.
