Ensemble Rehearsal Techniques<br />
“Exceeds”<br />
The field test teachers suggested the following points:<br />
Musical Elements<br />
• Made many specific <strong>and</strong> appropriate references to musical elements:<br />
(e.g. talked about using bad intonation, taking breaths, in the middle of<br />
phrases, having good acoustic balance, needing more alto, tone, <strong>and</strong><br />
portions of the piece sounding melodious)<br />
Revisions or Practice Strategies:<br />
• Suggested highly articulated practice strategies <strong>and</strong> revision: (Work on<br />
tones, take deeper breaths, work on balance, more practices with both<br />
parts together.)<br />
Critical Judgments:<br />
• Critical judgment showed evidence of complex coordination of two or<br />
more points of view <strong>and</strong> relations across one or more musical elements:<br />
(Boys sang girl’s part when it was more melodious; intonation improved<br />
but could use more alto; more balance wanted between the parts.)<br />
