Rhythm Accuracy

Accuracy of performed note durations relative to each other compared to implied relationships from notation.
No Concept

Extremely inaccurate, difficult to count number of mistakes, as if notes are played randomly out of time
Beginning

Mostly inaccurate, most rhythms are played incorrectly, but there appears to be a minimal amount of understanding of the notation
Developing

Mostly accurate, more than two mistakes and mistakes have noticeable impact on the performance
Advancing

Perfect or nearly perfect, one or two mistakes, but mistakes do not detract from the performance
Pulse

Sense of pulse, regardless of accuracy of rhythms. Amount of time from beat to beat is consistent (aside from musically appropriate changes)
No Concept

No perceptible pulse, as if notes are played randomly
Beginning

Very inconsistent pulse, but rhythms still seem potentially related to A pulse, even though the pulse changes or starts/stops
Developing

Somewhat inconsistent pulse, many noticeable fluctuations that detract from performance
Advancing

Consistent pulse always or almost always, with only a few musically inappropriate fluctuations
Pitch Accuracy

Accuracy of pitches compared to printed notation
No Concept

Extremely inaccurate, difficult to count number of mistakes, melodic contour is non-existent
Beginning

Mostly inaccurate, more mistakes than correct pitches, even melodic contour suffers
Developing

Mostly accurate, more than two mistakes (some of which are blatantly incorrect fingerings), but melodic contour is still present
Advancing

Perfect or nearly perfect, one or two mistakes (mistakes are likely a result of a missed partial, not a blatantly incorrect fingering)
Articulation

Accuracy of articulations (onsets and releases of notes) as compared to written articulations. Ambiguous notes have no discernible articulation. Incorrect notes are discernible, but not correct compared to notation (e.g., slur instead of staccato)
No Concept

Nearly all articulations are ambiguous, as if the way in which notes are attacked/released is not even considered by the performer
Beginning

Most articulations are ambiguous or blatantly incorrect
Developing

Good, more articulations are correct/unambiguous than not.
Advancing

Very Good, almost all articulations are clear with only a few ambiguous or incorrect articulations
Dynamics

Dynamic Contrast = range of perceptible differences in volume<BR>
Dynamic Accuracy = the extent to which relative changes in volume match relative changes in written dynamic markings
No Concept

No perceptible and intentional change in volume
Beginning

Very limited range of dynamic contrast AND multiple mistakes in dynamic accuracy
Developing

Limited but perceptible range of dynamic contrast OR multiple mistakes in dynamic accuracy
Advancing

Slightly limited range of dynamic contrast OR only minor mistakes in dynamic accuracy
