This rubric was developed as part of a session on ensemble assessment held at the January 2002 Florida Music Educators Association In-Service Meeting in Tampa, Florida.  The rubric was developed as part of a group activity that was focused on producing a rubric that met the achievement standard levels of the National Music Standards established by the National Association for Music Education:  MENC.  Thanks to all who participated and created this rubric!!!
