Singing Assesments

I personally don't feel nervous when it comes to singing assesments. I generally feel nervous just as I'm about to sing, but not beforehand. I think that I should prepare more for the assesments so I can get a better grade on them. To do this I could play the rhythm of the notes on the piano and sing along to them. I could also look up similar rhythmns online or on some other resource. I think that it is helpful when we sing what we are supposed to be assessed on as a class before we sing individually. Singing lessons can make or break a grade, so it's important that everyone prepares properly for them.
