Two Stars and a Wish – Feedback and Reflection Activity (KS2–KS3 Music)

A simple and effective feedback strategy designed to support peer assessment, self-assessment, and reflective learning in KS2 and KS3 music lessons. Two Stars and a Wish encourages students to recognise strengths while also giving constructive suggestions for improvement in a positive and supportive way.

Students give:
• Two positive comments about what went well
• One suggestion or “wish” for future improvement

This activity helps develop reflective thinking, communication skills, and a growth mindset while encouraging meaningful musical feedback. It is ideal for performance work, composition tasks, listening activities, rehearsal feedback, and classroom presentations.

Perfect for KS2–KS3 music lessons and easily adaptable for a wide range of classroom activities. A useful resource for promoting student voice, assessment for learning, and constructive classroom discussion in music education.
