Assessing the Video Test - cues, releases, sustains

This is your assessment tool, that you will complete after I post the videos.  You will complete this on Monday instead of coming to class - due by Monday noon.  I will grade them Monday afternoon.

UPDATE:  Videos are now posted here.  

Here are the Partner Pairings for this Assessment - their are uneven numbers, so the first three are a little different.  In case you are wondering, I assign these randomly - put names on little slips of paper and draw them out.

Mixed Meter Conducting Video Review

UPDATE:  Looks like Flickr only lets one upload 90 seconds of video and that cuts us off at the end of "The Call."  So we'll only evaluate the first three pieces.

Here are the Mixed Meter conducting videos for your class.  (will post actual videos on Wednesday)
9:15 Class
10:30 Class

Here is the place where you review your conducting video.

We will be evaluating:

1.  Preparatory beat
2.  Angular gestures vs. Float gestures
3.  Eye contact
4.  Is your pattern appropriate to the music?
