Download or read book Music Assessment for Better Ensembles written by Brian P. Shaw and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment is central to ensemble music. Yet, teachers do not always have the expertise to harness its potential to improve rehearsals and performances, and promote and document student learning. Written specifically for band, choir, and orchestra teachers at all levels, this book contains all of the information necessary to design and use assessment in a thriving music classroom. The first section addresses foundations such as learning targets, metacognition, and growth mindset. Assessment jargon such as formative assessment, summative assessment, Assessment for Learning, self and peer assessment, and authentic assessment is clarified and illustrated with music examples. Readers will learn practical strategies for choosing which concepts to assess, which methods to use, and how to use results to provide accurate and effective feedback to students. The second section brings assessment fundamentals into the music room. Filled with practical advice, each chapter examines a different facet of musicianship. Sample assessments in all performance areas are provided, including music literacy, fundamentals and technique, terminology, interpretation, evaluation and critique, composition and improvisation, beliefs and attitudes, and more. There is an entire chapter devoted to tips for applying assessment and feedback strategies in rehearsals, which can result in a fresh and effective approach to performance preparation. The final section is an examination of grading practices in music classes. Readers will gain information about ensemble grades that communicate what students know and are able to do, rather than whether they remembered their black socks. A variety of approaches, including Standards-Based Grading, are evaluated in light of music teachers' unique situations. The book concludes with ways for music educators to take their first steps toward implementing these strategies in their own teaching, including the use of instructional technology. Assessing like an expert is possible, and this book is just what teachers need to get started.

Download or read book Folk Song Collection for Guitar Ensemble written by Alan Hirsh and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present collection of guitar ensemble music was originally created for the Piedmont Guitar Orchestra (PGO), a community-oriented ensemble in North Carolina. to unite the diversity of playing levels within the orchestra, each composition has been arranged with parts organized into five graded levels: Guitar I is the most advanced; Guitar III is the easiest part; Guitar V, with (6) tuned down to low D, and Guitar II and IV are intermediate level parts. These works, though easily realized with one player per part, will sound more effective with several players per part. In some instances, a part marked with divisi, indicates that double stops are divided by two players: one player on the upper line and another player on the lower line.
