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.

This plan will provide the instructor with an outline and resources to direct students through a variety of listening exercises.  Students can use listening exercises to analyze music, identify important elements, and critique performances.

This plan will provide the teacher and student with the resources to engage in kind and constructive feedback. Students will use music terminology to evaluate, define, and provide feedback to peer performances.
