Rock the Beat

Students will perform a repeating pattern of slow (macro) and fast (micro) beats to a 16-count phrase (two successive 8 counts). They will count the eight beats of each phrase out loud as they clap or march. This same assessment could also be used with first and second graders.

This item does not include a Student Booklet.

These are analytic rubrics. 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.
