The 2008-2009 School
Year will be the pilot year for the Howard County Elementary
School Instrumental Music Assessments. Students are given two
assessments each year during both fourth and fifth grade. There
is one assessment given following the Winter Concert and one
assessment given following the Spring Concert. These assessments
will help to ensure that all students are prepared to enter
their middle school band programs. Students who choose to begin
an instrument in fifth grade will be able to move from Beginning
Band to Advanced Band once they are able to pass the final fourth
grade assessments.
Below are all of the assessments for each Band
instrument for both fourth and fifth grade. Students are encouraged
to work on the written portion at home and prepare well in advance
for the performance assessment portions.
The Howard
County Elementary School Instrumental Music Report Card
is used to record grades for both Band and Strings students
during all four quarters of the school year.
