Give guidance and feedback to students' plans, encouraging, refining, and helping them to be responsible for their own learning. Maintain high expectations for completion of chosen options. Summarize by reviewing the whole, bringing students "full circle" to the experience with which the learning began.

Student Evaluations

Objective: Students will evaluate their own compositions and will determine whether or not the compositions accurately reflect the student’s (or students’) interpretations of a selected piece.

Activity: Students will play their pieces either themselves or on a Finale (or Finale Notepad) and they will check their new transcriptions to make sure that the orchestrations of their selected piece is transcribed to their liking. Any necessary changes may be made. For those students who are working on their own, they may find it more useful and/or objective to play their pieces for another student or other students.

Assessment: Students’ compositions should reflect an understanding of tone in relation to how it can be transferred from the orchestra or chorus to the pipe organ.
