Students will perform their pieces for the members of the group

Objective: Students will have the opportunity to do a preliminary performance of their pieces while students who are the audience will be able to listen to various pieces and critique the composer/performer.

Activity: Once again in different groups of 4 or so, students will perform their pieces for the members of the group, or will use Finale or Finale Notepad to ‘perform’ the piece. Before each performance, the composer must tell the ‘audience’ the three words that he or she used to describe their role model in Step1. Following the performance, the students who are listening must not only assess the performance, but its relevance to the three adjectives that were developed by the composer.

Assessment: The music pieces are relevant to the adjectives that students brainstormed in Step1. Are students in the audience giving high-level constructive criticism?
