The following rubric is a checklist for singing skills. In order for you and I to analyze your current vocal skills, you can choose a song from your Ipod to sing for me by yourself while you listen to the song with your earbuds. That way, you can hear the melody and sing along, but I can hear your voice and see your face and body in order to give you constructive feedback. Also, I will videotape you so that YOU ALONE can see and hear yourself as well. I will NOT show the video to your classmates. You will then complete the rubric below.

The following rubric is a checklist for your current singing skills. During class you will sing an excerpt from a song from our repertoire. You will be expected to sing with pitch and rhythmic accuracy, good projection, clear articulation, proper tone quality and creative expression.

Directions: Write the letter names of all of the pitches below. In your group, perform each of the melodies using the boomwhackers. Identify the tune and write the name of the song on the line above the melody. There is a song bank and pitch diagram at the bottom of the page to help you. After you have identified all of the tunes, choose one tune to practice and be ready to share out. Remember all of the boomwhacker dos and don’ts. You will be assessed with the following rubric.
