Students should perform using correct pitches written in repertoire.
Rhythmic Accuracy refers to a student’s ability to properly interpret and perform the written rhythms on a page. This includes a student’s ability to understand time signatures and the implications they have on written rhythm. It is also important to understand that maintaining a steady pulse is integral to rhythmic accuracy.
1)Tempo Choice – Does the student choose a tempo that is representative of the intent of the composer 2)Start-overs – Do students need to stop and start over at any point. Are any sections repeated as a result of inaccurate playing 3)It is possible for tempi to fluctuate according to the markings on the page.
Tone quality refers to the students ability to produce a sound on the instrument that is representative of the characteristic timbre of the instrument
Intonation, when performing solo repertoire, is the ability to keep all pitches in tune relative to each other. A goal of every performer is to ensure that the intervallic relationships between notes are properly in tune across the range of the instrument.
Correct articulation is very important in determining the appropriate interpretation of style of a piece of music. It is important for students to not only understand when it is appropriate to use certain articulations but also the technique behind them
Dynamics are exactly what the term indicates - change. In this case, we are talking about changes in volume and the appropriate uses of those changes to create dramatic and emotional impacts in the music.
