Playing Tests -
The Junior High Orchestras have two types of playing tests each year. "Spot Checks" will occur during class and will be small excerpts that are graded on a Pass/Fail basis. If a student doesn't pass the test on the first try, they can try again (on a later date) as many times as necessary to earn a passing grade. "Playing Tests" will be either done in person, or recorded by video camera, and will be graded using the Evaluation Form below. Check here for listings of specific dates and pieces for future playing tests.
