Demonstrate ensemble skills by performing two substantial pieces of music as a member of a group
You perform two substantial pieces of music as part of a group (typically 3–7 musicians), demonstrating that you can work together as an ensemble. Your teacher assesses your personal contribution to the cohesion, balance, intonation, style, accuracy, and presentation across both pieces—the focus is on your musicality and overall performance, not on picking apart small mistakes.
You play your part and contribute to holding the group together in both pieces, with generally accurate intonation, balance, and style.
You contribute consistently and thoughtfully to the ensemble's sound across both pieces, responding to what the group is doing with secure control and confident presentation.
You perform with assurance and conviction, making a sustained and musically sensitive contribution that enhances the ensemble's cohesion, balance, intonation, and overall performance quality.
