How is achievement—the choir’s performance—usually assessed? By how well the ensemble performs at the concert, of course! This user-friendly resource discusses assessment, feedback, and reflection to improve both individual and ensemble performance. Included are 17 duplicable forms to help you provide individual feedback and help students reflect on their work throughout the year – in rehearsals, following concerts, and at the end of the year.
