- Summative informally - students could write a reflection of class everyday and the teacher could look at them at the end of the unit

When it comes to assessing music performance fairly and impartially, the only real aspects you can judge are a) memorization of words, b) rhythmic accuracy, and c) pitch.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laurel with all the points that she brought up. It is very hard and subjective when it comes to grading music and creating assessments that can fairly assess a student's ability. Another aspect would be their stage presence and overall musicianship during the performance. Musicianship incorporates their appearance, confidence, and how they portrayed the piece that they performed.
ReplyDeleteYou have to create a descriptive rubric outlining examples of each skill you want to hear. If you teach them about the skills and make sure that everyone should know what you are looking for, you should be fine. It is always difficult to assess creativity.
