Your students can grade their own concert performance!
When I want to keep things simple (and teacher-led), I grade my concerts on a 4 point system:
– 1 point for being on time
– 1 point for being dressed appropriately
– 1 point for being focused and engaged while performing
– 1 point for being focused and engaged when not performing (back stage, in the audience, warm-ups, etc)
When my focus is on student growth, I teach my students to self-assess their concert performance.
Self-assessing a concert performance is more than just looking back after a concert and reflecting.
Using this approach there is growth that occurs before, during, and after the concert!
I hope, after reading this blog post, you gain some new ideas that can benefit your students and your choral program!
