The Music "Level" Ranking System
Developed by Dr. Piascik
In order to provide our students at Black River the best musical education, Dr. Piascik has organized a new level based system that will challenge each student while developing them into well-rounded musicians. The students will have to complete assignments in the three major categories:
Each category is then further broken down into skills and split between 18 levels:
Bronze Member:
Silver Member: Gold Member: Platinum Member: Diamond Member: Double Diamond: |
Level 1 = 4th grade skills
Level 2 = 5th grade skills Level 3-5 = 6th grade skills Level 6-8 = 7th grade skills Level 9-11 = 8th grade skills Level 12-14 = High School skills Level 15-18 |
Benefits of the Music Level Ranking System
1. Challenges the students at their own pace
2. Provides feedback on their musical development 3. Seating placement and part assignments in the band will depend on the student’s level 4. The students will receive a grade bonus for that marking period or have a credit for the future 5. Special acknowledgement in the concert program for any student who has advanced a level since the last concert. |
The Level sheets are a checklist of assignments.
When the student has completed all the required work and can perform the individual skills necessary for that level,
they should contact Dr. Piascik and schedule a “Level Test.”
