Grade Levels: 6-8

Dimensional Assessment 100 % Assessment of specific dimensions of music performance
	No Knowledge 0 pts	Naive 1 pts	Emerging 2 pts	Advancing 3 pts	Mastery 4 pts
Rhythm Accuracy Accuracy of performed note durations relative to each other compared to implied relationships from notation.	No Knowledge Unrecognizable recall of note values and how they fit together to create the music	Naive Extremely inaccurate, difficult to count number of mistakes, as if notes are sung randomly out of time	Emerging Mostly inaccurate, most rhythms are sung incorrectly, but there appears to be a minimal amount of understanding of the notation	Advancing Mostly accurate, more than two mistakes and mistakes have noticeable impact on the performance	Mastery Perfect or nearly perfect, one or two mistakes, but mistakes do not detract from the performance
Pulse Sense of pulse, regardless of accuracy of rhythms. Amount of time from beat to beat is consistent (aside from musically appropriate changes)	No Knowledge No perceptible pulse, as if notes are sung randomly	Naive Very little perceptible pulse, as if notes are sung randomly	Emerging Very inconsistent pulse, but rhythms still seem potentially related to A pulse, even though the pulse changes or starts/stops	Advancing Somewhat inconsistent pulse, many noticeable fluctuations that detract from performance	Mastery Consistent pulse always or almost always, with only a few musically inappropriate fluctuations
Pitch Accuracy Accuracy of pitches compared to printed notation	No Knowledge Extremely inaccurate, difficult to count number of mistakes, melodic contour is non-existent	Naive Inaccurate, difficult to count number of mistakes, melodic contour is non-existent	Emerging Mostly inaccurate, more mistakes than correct pitches, even melodic contour suffers	Advancing Mostly accurate, more than two mistakes, but melodic contour is still present	Mastery Perfect or nearly perfect, one or two mistakes
Articulation Accuracy of articulations (onsets and releases of notes) as compared to written articulations. Ambiguous notes have no discernible articulation. Incorrect notes are discernible, but not correct compared to notation (e.g., slur instead of staccato)	No Knowledge All articulations are ambiguous, as if the way in which notes are attacked/released is not even considered by the performer	Naive Nearly all articulations are ambiguous, as if the way in which notes are attacked/released is not even considered by the performer	Emerging Most articulations are ambiguous or blatantly incorrect	Advancing Good, more articulations are correct/unambiguous than not.	Mastery Very Good, almost all articulations are clear with only a few ambiguous or incorrect articulations
Dynamics Dynamic Contrast = range of perceptible differences in volume. Dynamic Accuracy = the extent to which relative changes in volume match relative changes in written dynamic markings.	No Knowledge No perceptible and intentional change in volume	Naive Very limited range of dynamic contrast AND multiple mistakes in dynamic accuracy	Emerging Limited but perceptible range of dynamic contrast OR multiple mistakes in dynamic accuracy	Advancing Slightly limited range of dynamic contrast OR only minor mistakes in dynamic accuracy	Mastery Excellent range of dynamic contrast OR no mistakes in dynamic accuracy
