Students
are expected to practice individually a minimum of 20 minutes per day (5 days a
week) to be prepared for all in-class activities and performances and to be
successful on periodic playing tests. Please
note above that practice records are to be handed in periodically for a
100-point test grade. Please
establish a daily practice routine to be completed with homework for other
classes.
The
weekly participation grade is determined in regard to in-class rehearsal
behavior and as a result of students coming prepared with instruments,
notebooks, pencils, and all class materials.
Points that are earned on a daily basis are accumulated for the weekly
participation grade.
