Richland Elementary

Weekly classroom participation grades are located in PowerSchool.  Participation grades reflect the individual student's effort to fully  participate in class, contribute in a positive manner to classroom learning, follow directions (both verbal, non-verbal, and written,) and master specific grade-level skills.  Music involves the entire body in communication and listening. 

In music class, great musicians do the following: 

*carefully watch and follow the conductor (and fellow ensemble members when asked to perform in small groups.)

*sing alone and with others appropriately with musicality.

*move appropriately and expressively in response to music.

*appropriately perform speech alone and with other musicians.

*play instruments with proper technique while showing proper care for the instrument.

Here is a link to the Memphis Shelby County Schools Music Proficiency Charts, which outlines yearly expectations by grade level:
