The evaluation is also used by music teachers to assist with student nominations for possible acceptance into All-County, All-State and All-Eastern performing groups This authentic assessment can be used for self-reflection and personal growth. The solo/ensemble performance is conducted by an adjudicator who specializes on the student’s particular instrument. Students receive a written evaluation/rubric which provides constructive criticism and positive reinforcement about their performance. Task 3 - Solo (improvisation included for jazz).

If a student performs as a soloist, he/she must prepare scales from memory, sight-read eight measures of music and perform a solo from the official NYSSMA manual before an official NYSSMA adjudicator. Students may perform more than one instrument (or voice) and solo/ensemble composition. Many of our student musicians perform in the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Solo and Ensemble festival each year. Fine Arts Department NYSSMA Adjudication Festivals 2021
