Orff-Improvisation: Peer & Self-Assessment

With instructor(s) Gina Trombetta
From PS 315, Brooklyn
Grade Level Elementary (K-5)

• Synopsis

  Students in my 5th grade general music class practiced formative assessment techniques to work on musically satisfying solos based on historical work songs (Orff xylophone improvisation). The students had a chance to revise their improvisations and took rhythmic and harmonic chances. Their improvisations sounded more musical and more creative.

• Inquiry

  Does formative assessment improve improvisation and composition skills in a 5th grade general music class?

• Strategy

  Self-reflection, peer feedback, checklist, protocols.
