The Student's Baseline
For level, "roughly which station" is enough — repertoire selection needs a range, not exact coordinates.
Practice Resources Inventory
The difficulty ceiling isn't set by level alone — it's time × cycle × instrument × support, multiplied together.
Who This Student Is
Tick what fits — no need to fill everything. The stage amplifies strengths; weaknesses get polished slowly, in lessons.
The Selection Decision
Write "what to showcase" first, then pick the piece — reverse the order and you'll pick something lovely but wrong. Offer 2–3 candidates and let the student choose one: the motivation difference is enormous.

Post-Recital Review (come back and fill this in afterwards)
This box is the starting point for next semester's selection. Let the child say it themselves — it's worth more than the teacher's praise ten times over.
