Description
	
	This choir video performance evaluation allows students to watch a video of a choir and assess the following aspects of music-making. This rubric can be used as a lesson plan for a sub, group learning, or as a homework assignment. It is a valuable teaching tool, especially when a teacher uses this first as part of a lesson.
| Tone – overall sound of the group was beautiful and consistent | 
| Balance/Blend – all voices and sections were unified and appropriately distributed with sound | 
| Vowels – all vowels were consistently aligned, pure,  and beautiful | 
| Consonants – consonants were crisp, well articulated, and words were easy to understand | 
| Dynamics – ensemble exhibited a varied range of volume that enhanced the performance and supported the interpretation | 
| Rhythmic Integrity – ensemble remained together rhythmically, beginnings and ends of phrases, cutoffs, consonants in the right place, and a steady pulse whenever intended | 
| Phrasing – the shape of each phrase or musical line provided vocal expression and interest | 
| Interpretation – the style was culturally and musically  appropriate, sung with emotion, and easy to connect to | 
| Visual Expressions/Stage presence – ensemble was interesting to watch/connected to the music, each other, the conductor, and the audience | 
 
I recommend, when using this rubric, that a video is watched/listened to independently to observe each category below. This means, the student watches the video once to observe “tone”. Next, they watch the video to observe “balance/blend”.
 
As a result of repeated watching/listening, the student will have honed in on 9 separate elements of music-making.
This downloadable product consists of a PDF Rubric and an Editable Google Doc.
