A group of Trumpet´s teachers was invited to assess the instrumental performance of two students. Initially, the evaluation of the performance of the two students was held freely (without theoretical frameworks or specific instruments) and then based on the Scale of Evaluation of Musical Execution, which was based on Swanwick’s theory. The main objective of this research is to contrast the assessments done by Trumpet´s teachers, based on Scale of Evaluation of the Musical Execution (COSTA e BARBOSA, 2010COSTA, Clara; BARBOSA, Jaime. Avaliação na Música: questões e dificuldades. Fafe: Escola Superior de Educação de Fafe, 2010 (Tese do Curso de Formação Complementar em Orientação Educativa).), with the free assessments (without references) carried out by the same group of teachers. By comparing the two forms of evaluation, we verify the inconsistency of the assessments and judgments in respect to the performance of the students. Additionally, our results show that Trumpet´s teachers´ evaluation of the students´ instrumental performance is mostly focused on two dimensions: materials and expression, which are stages at the most basic levels of the Spiral Theory.
