Music Performance Assessment

Music Performance Assessment (MPA) is a formal evaluation process that measures a musician’s technical skill, musicality, and interpretation during a performance. It typically involves rehearsing a set piece or repertoire, followed by a live or recorded performance, which is then assessed by qualified judges or teachers. The goal is to recognize strengths and areas for improvement, support professional development, and often serve as a credential for educational or career progression. MPA emphasizes both technical proficiency and expressive ability, encouraging musicians to deliver thoughtful, polished performances.
