Accompanying/Ensemble Grading Rubrics
The accompanying requirement in the Piano Class earns the student 100 points over the course of the year. The pieces of music chosen must be composed for soloist and piano. Generally speaking, students are required to find a vocalist or instrumentalist to perform for the class with them. Students generally earn full credit for their work. However, the rubrics for this assignment are the rubrics that might follow any musical performance requirement:
