This rubric is designed for assessing a sight-reading performance of a brass player in grades 6-12. A slightly modified, but parallel form could be used for woodwind players. There are three sub-rubrics: Dimensional, Global, and Apparent Difficulty, each with different percentage weights.

In this activity, you will create three invented notations, each for a different teacher-provided phrase in three different mediums: language, math, and music. The purpose of this activity is to gain some practice with both making invented notations and also interpreting invented notations of others. An invented notation is a notation that is created by the notator, using whatever system he or she devises to symbolize the necessary elements of the medium being notated.
