Read the labels, not colour alone
- 01
Secure
Bars 1–2 keep the agreed pulse.
- 02
Nearly ready
Bar 3 hesitates at the entry.
- 03
Needs practice
Bar 4 still needs note preparation.
Show a few readiness squares beside the music they describe. Keep the assessment tied to a specific outcome.
Written walkthrough
Open a four-bar demo goal. Review the bar-level readiness display and its labels. Listen to one bar, update the teacher assessment where appropriate, then choose a task for the remaining difficulty.
Recording script
Score and squares. “Each square helps us see a small part of the piece.”
Labels. “Here, two bars are Secure, one is Nearly ready and one Needs practice. These are teacher assessments of the agreed goal.”
Bar 3. “The notes are familiar, but the entry interrupts the pulse. We will practise the join from bar 2.”
Return to the phrase. “After the small task, we listen in context again.”
Capture notes
Show labels as well as colour. Do not invent percentage grades or imply that exercise activity automatically changes the teacher’s assessment.
