Grades are based on the following:
35% Weekly lesson grades (Preparation for and performance during lessons)
35% Solo Class performance and attendance
***Attendance at Brass recitals (You are required to be at all Brass recitals unless excused by me in advance. Your semester grade drops by 1 letter if you miss 2 brass recitals; any recitals missed after that lower the semester grade 1 letter for each missed recital.
30% Jury grade
The jury is a 10-minute performance (usually accompanied) for the brass faculty at the end of each semester.
*You must pass a sightreading proficiency exam (as per the Brass Guide) to pass into Trumpet 330. Any student failing the sightreading proficiency will receive a maximum grade of ÒDÓ in applied lessons.
***Two practice hours per day are expected. You must also play in a brass chamber group or have a duet partner to receive a passing grade.
If you must miss a lesson, please notify me in advance. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence and you will receive an F for that lesson. Three unexcused absences per semester result in an F for the semester grade.
If I must miss a lesson I will always inform you in advance and offer a makeup lesson. You are not required to take a makeup lesson, but it will be offered to you. If I am not in the studio when you arrive, please wait 15 minutes. I will do the same for you. If at the end of 15 minutes teacher or student has not arrived, the other is free to go!
If you need course adaptation because of a documented disability or if you have emergency information to share, please contact the Office of Disability Services at 191 Hoskins Library at 974-6087. This will ensure that you are properly registered for services.
