The philosophy for assessments on MusicplayOnline is that we don't want to do the assessments for you, but rather provide the tools for you to create your own. As Musicplay founder Denise Gagné explains, "Kids don’t come in little boxes. Neither do teachers."
Lesson Planning: Scope and Sequence & What We Will Learn
The first section to look into would be the Lesson Planning section. Here, you will find a wide range of documents covering curriculum scope, musical concepts, and grade-level expectations. The Scope and Sequence documents are a great starting point for seeing what the students will be learning and therefore what you can assess.
Using Song-Specific Worksheets and Interactives
Many songs on the Song List have interactives and worksheets that can work great for assessments. Availability varies by song, so check each song page to see which resources are included. To find them, you can navigate to the song page and check under the supporting resources section.
Using the Games as Assessment Tools
If you want something not attached to a specific song, our Games and Toolbox section include dedicated tools for assessing students across a range of musical concepts. Many of the games focus on different musical concepts. When you pick a game, scroll down the game's page to see the list of other content that is available to review.
Using the Rhythm Practice and Solfa Practice Sections
Most Solfa Practice and Rhythm Practice levels have a dedicated assessment section of videos. They are typically found near the bottom of the page, as shown here:
