CLASSROOM ASSESSMENTS (TOTAL 35%)

5% - Rehearsal Competency

 

Be prepared for class. If you do not play for ANY reason on a given day (except a medical reason accompanied by a doctor’s note) 5 points will be deducted from this portion of your grade. This same rule applies if you are UNPREPARED for ANY reason (no reeds, no pencil, no music, etc.). Two “free” days will be given to cover emergencies. If there is a “long term” problem (e.g. broken bone, etc.), the “Project” percentage will be increased to 30%, and a revised project will be assigned. The director will consider exceptions on an individual basis. 

30% - Pass-offs

Pass-off excerpts consisting of scales, rhythms, and playing exercises from method books or concert selections will be required each semester. See About Pass-offs for more details.
