• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
Feedback is given individually to students on an ongoing basis. The teacher will monitor the students' progress throughout the term. Regular feedback and guidance will be given to each student in the ensemble, especially in the final weeks before the evaluation. Students are expected to integrate this ongoing feedback into their individual rehearsals outside of class time, and to demonstrate their progress week-on-week.
