Today was PERFORMANCE DAY for the 3rd Graders!! (4th Graders are working on their challenging concert music). This is an opportunity for each student to play a piece that represents their best. Below are some of the benefits of Performance Day:
- Students play for, and inspire, their peers
- Students gain independence playing alone
- The more frequently they perform, the less nerves there will be come concert time
- I can more accurately assess each student, and help them one-on-one
- Each student becomes a teaching tool for the others in class, and students may offer suggestions to help their peers.
- It's fun!
