This rubric assess the students' ability to read musical notes on a musical staff.

I created this rubric to specifically match and assess "Rhythm Game Using Body Percussion", by Michelle L. Miller. This activity can be found at http://www.lessonplanspage.com/musicrhythmgameusingbodypercussionidea48-htm, and is very useful in creating a fun environment for learning rhythm. This rubric was designed for elementary general music classes.

to assess performance technique for the Clarinet

This rubric will evaluate the participation of each student based on their attitude and active involvement during class activities as well as measure the legibility, accuracy and completeness of all deliverables.

This rubric is to evaluate the student's proficiency at pitch matching within an improvised musical response consisting of 4 counts by echo singing the first 2 notes (a descending minor 3rd (G4-E4)) of the teacher’s musical melody “question” beginning with the minor 3rd as the first two pitches but improvising the rest of their “answer,” resulting in resolution. These skills are based upon the Academic Standards for Music - Caddo Parish Music Department: PERFORM (Mus1.3.1 - Sing a cappella and accompanied songs with attention to pitch, diction, tone quality, and posture – correlated with National Music Standard 1) and CREATE (Mus3.3.1 - Sing or play extended responses to teacher or student musical questions – correlated with National Music Standard 3).

Students demonstrating playing eighth note, quarter note, half note and quarter rests on classroom instruments.

Learning Outcomes: 1. Students will demonstrate, using the guitar, their ability to read & interpret proper pitches & rhythms. Rationale: The purpose of this rubric is to assess a student's music theory knowledge via guitar performance. Music notation represents another language or symbolic system of communication. Reading & notating music gives the students access to a vast body of contemporary & historical music literature, as well as to a unique mode of personal expression. Music Content Standards: E, Reading & Notating: Students in Wisconsin will read & notate music. E.4.1: Read whole, half, quarter, eighth, & dotted notes & rests in 2/4, 3/4, & 4/4 meter signatures. E.4.2: Use a system (syllables, numbers, or letters) to read simple pitch notation in the treble clef in major keys.
