Rational:
Students will be required to video record themselves performing musical assessments and submit them to Mr. Cantrell electronically. The reasoning for this procedure is twofold: 1) These video assessments provide a tangible and documented record of student performance. Videos may be reviewed as evidence of a student's grade and as a method to track student progress over the course of a year/s. 2) Performance assessment must be conducted but the process takes away from valuable rehearsal time that is needed to prepare for concerts. By having students submit recordings electronically, in class rehearsal time may focus on preparation for performance. Students may practice performance assessments on their own time, at their convenience, and submit their best product for evaluation
Procedure:
Performance benchmarks and musical assessments for the term will be posted in advance with due dates. Students may submit recordings at any time up to the posted deadline. Early submissions are accepted and encouraged!
Students may use any method of video recording: video camera (camcorder), cell phone, iPod/iPad, Android tablet device, or laptop (or desktop computer) with webcam and microphone, as long as the audio quality of the recording is high and accurately represents the performance. Students who do not have access to this technology or internet at home may check out a laptop, iPod/iPad from the media center. These recordings can take place before school, after school, during lunch hours, or during class time (if requested in advance). We have several Chromebooks in the band room that can be used at anytime - NO EXCUSES!
