The Song Rubric



 
1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0
Beginning Too many tracks start all at once, or the song starts with all of the strongest tracks at the beginning, or the song takes forever to get going.  The beginning starts a little to strong or it takes a little to long before the first changes. The beginning starts small and builds up and changes into a new part of the song before at just the right time. This is the same as for a 3.0 but the student will choose all of their own tracks.
Loop Choice The extra loops don’t sound like they fit the song at all. The extra loops don’t quite fit The extra loops fit fairly well. This is the same as for a 3.0 but the student will choose all of their own tracks.
Flow of Song The song is the same all the way through The song changes a little The song has quiet parts and loud parts.  It builds up and then relaxes.  There are times when lots of loops are being used at the same time and there are times when only a few loops are being used. This is the same as for a 3.0 but the student will choose all of their own tracks.
Climax The song doesn’t have a most important part. The song has a part that is a tiny bit stronger than the rest but it isn’t that full and it doesn’t use very many tracks at the same time. The song has a most important part.  This part is the loudest part and it has lots of loops playing at the same time. This is the same as for a 3.0 but the student will choose all of their own tracks.
Ending The song ends too quickly and in a weird place, or it takes a really long time to end The song ends a little bit to quickly and it’s not in the best place, or it takes a little to long to end. The song ends at a good place.  The loops are removed from the song in an order and at a speed that makes sense. This is the same as for a 3.0 but the student will choose all of their own tracks.
