Evaluation question - choose the best response to a recent performance by a Year 7 student

a)

Student X played their piece really well. I really liked how they played and they were really confident. They used the right notes and didn't stop once.

b)

Student X played with really good accuracy by playing all of the notes and rhythms correctly. Their fluency was good but could have been improved at the end where there was some hesitation. The tempo was a bit slow as well so they maybe could work on increasing the speed of the music.

c)

Student X's performance was boring and I didn't like it. I couldn't really hear what they were doing and the sound they used wasn't very good. They need to try harder next time and make sure they do it better.

d)

Student X's performance was so good, it was probably the best one I've heard so far. They got everything right and used the right scale and dynamics. I loved how they used different sounds and were really fast when they played.
