The 2011-2012 UCF BM in Jazz Studies Student Assessment Report Jeff Rupert, Director of Jazz Studies August 8, 2012

This report Includes summaries of jazz jury assessments. Data reflects the average score for students sorted by:  Level ( class)  Instrument The assessment rubric follows the data. The juries are used in part to assess implementation and progress of the curriculum. Interpretation of the data is below, and a response and conclusion are included on page nine.

 Page 1 Overview and interpretation of the data from jury assessments.  Page 2 Jazz studies student enrollment and graduation figures.  Page 3 Graph overview of jazz jury assessments for the entire student body.  Page 4 Jury assessment data sorted by class (level).  Page 5 Jury assessment data by winds and guitar  Page 6 Jury assessment data of piano, bass and drums.  Page 7 Response to the data.  Page 8-10 Grading rubrics.

Interpretation of the data:

It appears that jazz studies students by enlarge are assimilating the curriculum very well. In most areas of assessment, students are scoring between 88.5- 89.5%, a very narrow, and consistent margin. Areas scoring just below 89% include note accuracy, articulation, and rhythmic improvisation. Harmonic improvisation is at 88.5%, and the lowest scoring section is scale studies, at just below 88%. There appears to be parity among the studios, however since a few have only 1 or 2 students assessed, data sorted by studio is skewed in that the data relies solely on one or two students. The guitar and drum studios are well populated and the data is fairly consistent. While the data reflects good and consistent scores for etude/other, the individual data reflects that not all studios are requiring or assessing this kind of work. Figures reveal that there is less equity in application of scale studies, as compared to other areas of assessment. Undergraduate as compared to graduate assessments; while there are only one graduate student reporting for the fall, and two for the spring, it would appear that the graduate level preparation and assessment scores are considerably lower than the undergraduates.

Notes: Scale studies, and etudes/other have the greatest variance in scoring.

Rupert CV 2012 46 Response to the Data

The students are achieving good success with regard to their studies. In comparing previous years’ assessments, applied study (excluding etude preparation, and scale studies) are high. Etude study, scale preparation, (including bebop scales from jazz theory) as well as repertoire assimilation are not as consistent as in other areas. Harmonic improvisation scores vary, however it is assumed that bolstering scale and repertoire studies will help in this area. It is realistic to continue our assessments, and try and raise the overall level of assimilation by UCF jazz studies students, as well.

Recommendations:

 A collection of the core repertoire has been created, for the faculty. It is encouraged that students begin assimilating these compositions in three keys. See collection forward for complete details.

 Applied instructors focus on the compositions for the freshman and sophomore classes. These students have less interaction with jazz course work as compared to upperclassmen, and attention in this way creates a more inclusive environment for the underclassmen.

 Perhaps the Freshman-Sophomore theory and class piano courses reference jazz studies exercises, be it compositional harmonic convergence, scale studies and application, or jazz piano voicings ( from Jazz Theory 1 &2) into the theory classes. In addition, perhaps the jazz faculty can reference “classical” theory, more often.

 Eartraining: Implement assessment of eartraining at Juries. Freshman Fall, major 7, minor 7, major triad, minor triad Freshman Spring; all chords from the fall plus dominant 7, diminished 7 Sophomores Fall: all cumulative chords plus m7b5, min9,dominant 9, minor maj 7, minor maj 9 Sophomores Spring: all cumulative chords plus dominant flat 9, #9. 9#11, #9,#11, flat 9#11 Juniors Fall: all cumulative chords plus #5 #9, flat 5 #9, #5 flat 9, #5 #9, 13#11 9, 13#11 flat 9 Juniors Spring: all cumulative chords plus m6, m69, m69 #11 Seniors Fall: all cumulative chords plus chord progressions TBA Seniors Spring: all cumulative chords, chord progressions plus chord progressions TBA

 Continue with the jam sessions; they force students to administer an ad-hoc self study regarding their preparation. They also reinforce an important element of jazz improvisation and the jazz performance; that it is by nature a social music.

 All studios add a component of etudes, if not already in place. Playing the core compositions can fall under this category, as well as “classical” etudes, etc, and piano voicings for drummers, as well as drum/percussion etudes. Transcription performance may also fall under this category.

Rupert CV 2012 47  Scale Studies; it is recommended that all studios at all levels address scale patterns in the handbook. We will implement a more cohesive scale study assessment in the juries. A lottery system will be implemented, in which students will draw from scale and pattern options to be performed at tempo, in the juries. Tempos to be discussed, and implemented.

We will share this data with the jazz studies majors at our fall meeting. The hope is to continue growth in applied areas, and foster continued growth with regard to improvisation, scale and repertory issues.
