5 - Exemplary:
I am recognized as an outstanding performer. I have performed or am capable of performing virtuosic works in a variety of soloistic and ensemble formats.

I do not usually perform solos in ensembles, but techniques such as blending, dynamic range, and diction come easily to me and meet the expectations for good performers. My musicianship is above average, and as an ensemble participant, I believe I will be a good section performer in a national-level ensemble.

I am proficient as a choral singer and participate occasionally in local or non-auditioned college ensembles.
