Grading Policy
Grading will be based on these factors of student performance:
1. Class participation (10%)
2. Individual performance tests (30%)
3. Written Evaluation (20%)
4. Music Performance Viewing (10%)
5. Band Concert Attendance (30%)
*** Chair Placement does not affect grading.
Class Participation:
Class participation grade will be determined by the students ability to bring
all prescribed materials to class each day (pencil, music in folder, instrument,
instrument materials, etc.). It will also be determined on students effort in
class, respectfulness to classmates and instructor, and their discussion of
performances in class. The student will begin every week with the maximum
amount of points given, and it will only go down if the guidelines above are
not met sufficiently.
