*Receive both a PDF and Editable Word Document! Middle School and High School singers frequently lack the awareness of what it takes to participate effectively in group voice classes (rotating lessons, pullout lessons, or sectionals). If we want to see them improve their contribution, we must make them aware of what is expected of them. But that isn't enough to instill improvement. Singers must hold themselves accountable for their own participation in development and achievement. This self-assessment tool is incredibly useful for that purpose. -
