Slide 2 Slide 3 Using 21 st Century Skills during our
Solo/Ensemble Unit -by Dave Kies Slide 4 -solution fluency Students
determine: are the parts too hard for any of us? who has the best
upper range? who has the best lower range? what piece do we enjoy
playing the most? how is our progress during rehearsals? Slide 5
-information fluency Students search for recordings of their piece
using: Slide 6 -collaboration fluency ritard accelerando crescendo
-groups ask each other about musical terms, notes, markings, etc.
-groups will listen to and critique each other to help determine
areas needing improvement Slide 7 often times students will use
analogies to explain the feeling of a particular part of a piece of
music I think this part sounds like a big heavy elephant walking.
-creativity fluency Slide 8 -groups will record one of their
practices with an mp3 recorder -they listen to and evaluate the
recording to determine what needs more practice -media fluency
Slide 9 -students are not assigned a leadership role -these
leadership roles happen automatically as invariably a student steps
up to get their group motivated to practice -digital citizen Slide
