1 Yes

0 No

Rubric addresses rhythm Rubric addresses pitch Rubric addresses tempo Rubric addresses expressivity 8. Identify correlation between math and music. Criteria/Assessment: Students will be given a paper and pencil test that provides a rhythmic symbol. Students will write the mathematical fraction that accurately describes the symbol (i.e. dotted quarter note = in a 6/8 meter). The text will have 10 questions and each question will be worth 1 points. 9. Identify music from various cultures and historical time periods. Criteria/Assessment: Identify various ensembles aurally and identify the genre they relate to.
