Abstract:

There are many institutions that provide percussion education in Turkey. The main institutions among these are the percussion instruments divisions of state conservatoires. These sections aim to train up soloists and orchestra artists. The education put forward in this sense is considered to be in long term. The education starts in the primary education period and goes on until the undergraduate level. Graduate education can also be given. The aim of the research is to design a scoring key to objectively measure student performances in the midterm and final exams of these institutions and to analyze the compatibility of performance grades given by the scoring key and the traditional scoring method. Moving from this aim; the relationship between the graded scoring key designed and the scores given by the traditional scoring method and the level of the difference were searched. As a result, it is concluded that the graduated scoring key, designed to make the measurement an important dimension of percussive training, is highly compatible and correlated with the traditional scoring method; it can also be considered to have made an objective measurement on the applied group.
