Your performance assessment will take place next lesson. This lesson is going to be used as an entire rehearsal session for you and your partner. You must decide which song you are going to perform for your assessment:
Shake It Off - Taylor Swift
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
7 years - Lukas Graham
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Someone Like You - Adele
Are you and your partner playing your part correctly and in the correct order?
Are you using the correct hand for the part/parts you are playing?
Have you chosen a part that challenges you enough and is not too easy? (Your teacher will be able to tell if it is too easy for you!)
Are you and your partner playing in time to create a fluent piece of music?
Have you chosen a suitable tempo (speed) for your piece?
Are you rehearsing your part slowly so that you can transition between chords/parts easily?
If there is singing included, can the melody line be heard over the keyboard? Is it sung with confidence?
Have you included dynamics (e.g. loud, quiet) to make your piece more interesting?
Some pairs will perform their piece to the class as work in progress.
Discuss targets for next lesson.
