Demonstrate ensemble skills through performing a piece of music as a member of a group
You need to perform a piece of music as part of a group and show you can work together as an ensemble. This means you're being assessed on how well you contribute to the group's sound, timing, balance, and overall performance—not just on how well you personally can play. Your teacher will watch you perform live in front of an audience.
You perform your part correctly and contribute to the group staying together in time, in tune, and sounding balanced—it's clear you're listening to others and playing your assigned role.
You perform effectively by adding consistent, musically aware contributions that show you're actively responding to what the group is doing, maintaining confident presentation throughout.
You perform convincingly by delivering a sustained, assured contribution that demonstrates control over all ensemble skills (balance, intonation, feel, style, accuracy) and shows musical confidence in your part.
