Assessing students in music can be extremely inconvenient process in music education. This is because students have to play their instrument while the teacher assesses the student. This can be very time consuming for both the teacher and the student. An alternative solution for this is to have students video/audio record themselves playing and then have them send it to their teacher. This can be done throughout the semester as a form of formative assessment or can be done at the end of the semester for a final performance. Simply have students record themselves using a phone or some sort of recorder.
