AVERAGE
You brought an average level of energy and projection to your performance. You can improve your grade by singing with more enthusiasm and more voice.
BELOW AVERAGE
Your energy level was down, and you did not sing with very much excitement or enthusiasm. Frankly, it was boring to watch you sing. Please see me for some tips on how to improve.
POOR
Only occasionally, and then only with prompting, did you sing with energy, your mouth was not opened enough, and your voice was not projected. Your parents will be notified.
UNABLE TO GRADE
You had no energy whatsoever, and looked as if you were sick.
Diction and articulation
OUTSTANDING
You sang with words that were understandable; your vocal line was articulated clearly; your phrasing was excellent and your diction was near perfect. Final consonants and tall vowels were in evidence.
ABOVE AVERAGE
I could understand almost every word, but there were a few times when final consonants and tall vowels could have been sung more carefully.
AVERAGE
There were times when I didn't not understand your words. You dropped final consonants, and your vowels were not consistently well formed. Please see me for help if you'd like to improve.
BELOW AVERAGE
There were times when I didn't not understand your words. You dropped final consonants, and your vowels were not consistently well formed. Please see me for help if you'd like to improve.
POOR
Not only did I not understand your words, you also did not know some of them. This is probably due to a lack of attention during rehearsals. You must see me to discuss this. Your parents will be notified.
UNABLE TO GRADE
You DID NOT sing with words that were understandable; your vocal line was not articulated clearly. You must have problems with your mouth.
Expression and style
OUTSTANDING
You sang beautifully with proper vocal expression and style for the song; you used your voice quality effectively to establish the mood of the song through the proper understanding of the text.
ABOVE AVERAGE
You sang well, and did your best to properly express the style and mood of the song, although you still need to focus more on the meaning of the text.
AVERAGE
You sang well, but didn't really properly express the style and mood of the song. You still need to focus more on the meaning of the text, and be more attentive during rehearsals.
BELOW AVERAGE
There was only a bit of expression in your voice, and I was not really moved by your performance. It seemed as if you really didn't really care to be expressive. See me for help with this.
POOR
It seems that due to a lack of real participation during rehearsals, you are not achieving the proper attitude necessary to sing with any real degree of feeling. Your parents will be notified.
UNABLE TO GRADE
You DID NOT sing with proper vocal expression or style; you did not use your voice effectively to establish the mood of the song. You may be unable to do so because of an accident.
Proper tone quality and blend
OUTSTANDING
You sang with a beautiful tone that was pleasing and properly supported. You are a true role model for your peers. You have an outstanding voice.
ABOVE AVERAGE
You did a fine job. You need to be aware that although you have a wonderful voice, there are times when your voice tends to not blend with those around you. Try to allow it to become more a part of the ensemble.
AVERAGE
Your voice is fine, but there were several times when your vocal tone was just a bit edgy, making it stand out and blend less than it could. Try listening more to those around you than trying to sing loudly.
BELOW AVERAGE
There were several times when your voice simply did not blend with those around you, and sounded somewhat harsh. This can be corrected by listening more to those around you than trying to sing loudly.
POOR
It seems that you were not paying attention during rehearsals when instructions were given as to how to blend. You may also have no desire to improve in this regard. I will have a conference with your parents.
UNABLE TO GRADE
You DID NOT sing with beautiful tone that was pleasing and supported by good breath control; the tone was either too harsh, too nasal or you are hoarse from screaming.
