Note: MakeMusic is temporarily suspending the assessment feature for bells while we make general improvements to bell assessment. This is a high priority development effort and will be available when it meets our quality standards. In the meantime, a recording will be automatically required in lieu of an assessment score for Impact assignments. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
