Music Sight-Reading Performance Assessment Music Sight-Reading Performance Assessment This rubric is designed for assessing a sight-reading performance. Set for 40 points Rubric Code: PXX6WC8 By berchtoldd Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Music Type: Assessment Grade Levels: 6-8

Dimensional Assessment 100 % Assessment of specific dimensions of music performance ( 40 point Rubric)
	No Concept 2 pts	Beginning 4 pts	Developing 6 pts	Advancing 8 pts
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
