For the measurement topic of song composition, which proficiency scale statement measures procedural knowledge at advanced level 4.0 proficiency?

• A. The student will identify the parts of a song.
• B. The student will compose and sing a song, including two verses and a chorus.
• C. The student will compare the choruses and verses of several songs.
• D. The student will distinguish between different types of songs.

Answer: (B)

Procedural knowledge means being able to perform a task from start to finish, applying steps to produce a result. The statement that asks the student to compose and sing a song, including two verses and a chorus, requires creating and delivering a full musical piece—planning structure, crafting lyrics and melody, organizing verses and chorus, and performing it. This embodies executing a complex procedure and producing an artifact, which aligns with advanced level proficiency. The other options focus on identifying parts, comparing elements, or distinguishing types, which are more about understanding concepts or analysis rather than performing or producing.
