Lesson Preparation
Each student is expected to practice 1 hour per day or more outside of rehearsals.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is mandatory. An unexcused absence will be counted as an F for that lesson and the lesson will not be made up. If you must miss a lesson or need to reschedule, please call, email, or text me. Excused absences will be rescheduled.
Grading
Each lesson after the initial lesson of the term, you will receive a grade determined by your preparation and progress on the assigned material. These grades will be averaged at the end of the term for your final grade. You must perform a jury at the end of the term (please contact an accompanist early so you can sufficiently rehearse). In order to move to the next level, you must pass the jury which is determined by the music faculty. You will receive written comments on your performance.
