Assessment Example:
When listening to Flight of the Bumble Bee by Tchaikovsky students will be able to isolate and respond to the sound of the flute.
Students would pretend to play their violins as they listen to the piece and then change to their pretend flutes when the flute played.
A second option would be to have something (like a stick with a picture of a flute) that students could hold in the air when they hear
the flute and then put down when the flute is done.
Students should be very familiar with the listening example before the formal assessment. This assessment could be done in the
whole group setting.
