Description:
<jats:p> The suitability of criteria-specific rating scales in the selection of high school students for participation in an honors ensemble was investigated. Three questions regarding criteria-specific rating scales were addressed: (1) Do they yield adequate measurement results? (2) Do they help judges discriminate among different levels of student instrumental performance? and (3) Which dimensions of instrumental performance are most predictive of total scores? All 926 students seeking selection to the Connecticut All-State Band were evaluated by 36 judges with the use of criteria-specific rating scales. The rating scales yielded substantial variability and moderately high to high alpha reliabilities. Stepwise multiple regression indicated that student Total scores could be predicted from scores of five individual dimensions (Multiple R = .96). </jats:p>
