1. Basic –Unfocused tone, erratic rhythm, unstable pitch, inconsistent phrasing, dynamics and shows minimal awareness of style and context; movement irrelevant to the lyrics and/or elements of music present in the song.
2. Developing: Focused tone but inconsistent in extreme ranges, some repeated errors in rhythm and pitch, consistent phrasing, discernible dynamics, some nuances in style as suggested by the score/teacher.; some movements inconsistent with the lyrics and/or elements of music present in the song.
3. Approaching Proficiency: Focused and clear tone in normal ranges, accurate rhythm and secure pitch with isolated errors, accurate and consistent phrasing, accurate dynamics, with some nuances in style as suggested by the score/teacher; some movements inconsistent with the lyrics and/or elements of music present in the song.
4. Proficient : Focused, clear tone all throughout, accurate rhythm and secure pitch, consistent and sensitive phrasing and obvious dynamics, with creative nuances in response to the style and music score; movements relevant to the lyrics and/or elements of music present in the song Thank you for reading and commenting...

You will need a stopwatch or a digital watch with a second hand. Your partner takes the time while you take the pulse. Your pulse can be located at several places on my body. The 2 most common locations are the carotid pulse and the radial pulse.

A. Carotid pulse:

• Turn my head to one side.
• Feel the point at your neck where the large muscle and tendon.
• Slide the fleshy part of your index and middle fingers along this tendon until you are on a level equal with your Adam‟s apple.
• Feel for the pulse. Readjust the fingers if necessary.
• Do not press too hard because this might alter the pulse (e.g. slow it down).
•  Count the number of pulses felt for 60 seconds. This number represents your heart rate in beats per minute while you are at rest. If you are pressed for time, you may count the pulses for only 15 seconds. Multiply this by 4.
• Remember however, that it is more accurate to take a full 60-second count if possible.

•  Hold your left forearm out in front with palm facing on you .
• At the top portion of your forearm (nearest the thumb) where your wrist is, slide the fleshy part of your index and middle fingers along until they are 1 inch from your wrist.
• Feel for the pulse. Readjust the fingers if necessary.
• Do not press too hard because this might alter the pulse (e.g. slow it down). Count the number of pulses felt for 60 seconds. This number represents your heart rate in beats per minute while you are at rest. If you are pressed for time, you may count the pulses for only 15 seconds. Multiply this by 4.
• Remember however, that it is more accurate to take a full 60-second count if possible.

Health-related physical fitness (HRF) consists of cardiorespiratory endurance (CRE), muscular endurance and strength, flexibility and body composition.

Skill-related physical fitness (SRPF) consists of agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time and speed.

Physiological fitness (PF) consists of MetF, MorF and BI.

Physical fitness is made up of three major components:
(1) health-related,
(2) skill-related, and
(3) physiological fitness.

Health-related physical fitness (HRPF) consists of those specific components that have a relationship with good health, or a lower risk of illness, particularly hypokinetic diseases and conditions.

Skill-related physical fitness (SRPF) consists of components that have a relationship with learning motor skills quickly and the ability to achieve a high level of performance in sports. I know of others who were able to improve their motor skills with practice so they are able shoot a basketball or kick a football well. Since they are fit (or possess SRF), they aremore likely to engage in regular physical activities; and because of this, they too will have enhanced HRF.

Physiological fitness relates to biological systems that are influenced by one‟s level of habitual physical activity (Bouchard et al., 1990). Unlike HRF and SRF which can be measured through performance tests using hand-held or portable devices (like the sit-and-reach box and the weighing scale) that can be conducted in the field or classrooms, physiological fitness is different because its components can be measured using more expensive equipment and in a laboratory or medically-supervised facility. Its components include metabolic fitness (MetF), morphological fitness (MorF) and bone integrity (BI).

Physical fitness is “a set of abilities that one possesses in order to perform physical activities.

Physical activity is any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that results in a substantial increase in energy expenditure” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC, 1985).

I can become physically fit (e.g., improve or maintain it) through exercise, which is “a type of physical activity consisting of planned, structured and repetitive bodily movement” (CDC, 1985). This means that physical fitness is a measurable set of characteristics that is determined by my exercise habits (American College of Sports Medicine or ACSM, 2010).
