Evidence of Success: Discuss the evidence you have and what it indicates in terms of the
level of success of your strategies. Be concrete explaining only WHAT not WHY.

-Exercises written by students in which they show their knowledge of basic music figures,
measures, time signature, beat. Etc.
-Videos with simple performances of rhythmic lines made by students. They show they can
read and play a rhythmic line which include quarter note, eight note and rests.
-Written Exercises of easy dictations using quarter note, eight note and rests.
- Final Task: Minuet in G by Johann Sebastian Bach. Rhythmic line written by students.

Rationale: Discuss why you think the results are what they are. Include any details
regarding individual strategies and/or factors which may have influenced the outcome.

45% of the students achieved the goal with 100% accuracy,

50% of the students achieved the goal with an accuracy between 70% and 85%. Some of
them didnt make the final task but they achieved the minimum level.
5% didnt achieved the goal.

The final task (Minuet in g) actually has a higher level than purposed in the initial goal.
This means we went further in the process and get a better result than expected
The process was consistent and progressive so the students could improve their
performance step by step until they get the results. They knew from the beginning what was
expected from them.
Continuation: Discuss what your next steps will be. They may relate to further
implementation and strategies to improve results or for maintaining successes.
