This is an analytic rubric. The column on the left shows the dimension that is being measured in the student’s performance. The levels across the top row indicate the performance level in the dimensions. Occasionally all dimensions and performance levels are exemplified by multiple students in a single recording.
All measures contain the correct number of beats. All stems point in the correct direction. Each staff contains the correct clef and key signature. All measures are separated by barlines. The end is designated with a double barline. All parts of notes or rests (noteheads, stems, flags, beams, extension dots, etc.) are placed correctly.
The consequent phrase ends in the same key as the antecedent phrase. The consequent phrase is roughly the same length as the antecedent phrase. The end of the consequent phrase implies a sense of harmonic closure. The consequent phrase uses at least one rhythmic feature of the antecedent phrase. The consequent phrase uses at least one melodic/tonal feature of the antecedent phrase.
