))))Vu & Company(((( Diagnostic Tests for Elementary Music

My school district is asking elementary music teachers to pre-assess first graders now. I have not had to assess pre-writers before and I would really appreciate hearing from someone that is good at writing music assessments for young children. I want the test to be fair an accurate measure of my student's abilities. Do any of you in the group have any ideas or know of anyone I can contact? Thank you so much! Carol
