Create a performance piece that includes rhythm, improv, drama and movement similar to the performance group, Stomp.

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).
