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 />
