Performing ensembles evaluate their own performance recording based on a specific set of criteria. Students analyze and critique their performance using appropriate music terminology. Students can answer a survey to collect data and immediately compile results, or can share their responses in a collaborative document or learning management system.

Students submit audio or video of themselves performing a certain passage from their ensemble music, a specific exercise from their method book, or a scale/skill/technique. Once the audio/video has been uploaded, the teacher can provide written or spoken feedback. Students have the option to provide a self-assessment to monitor and track practice and progress towards goals.

In order for students to remark on the progress they have made on a particular skill or technique, the student will record themselves performing that specific skill and track progress towards goals.

Students will collaborate to produce a music video of an assigned piece. Using a digital audio workstation (DAW), students record themself on their individual part. Students create individual visual storyboards for the music video then collaborate as an ensemble to make a master storyboard. Using the student storyboard ideas, the teacher and students film and edit the video to align with the audio and create a final music video.
