The individual in this class will have a wide range of prior experience. Please do not get discouraged when you find that others are ahead of you in one area or another.
Grades are earned based on the following:
PARTICIPATION 50% of your grade will be based on what you do in the classroom.
You are expected to:
- be on time to class
- have all music theory class handouts in a 3-ring notebook
- have your 3-ring notebook with music theory handouts for each class
- failure at any of the above will result in a zero for the day
- you are allotted one "freebie"
TESTS 50% of your grade will be based on your performance on tests. Some tests will be written, some will involve singing, some will involve playing piano, and some will involve listening.
HOMEWORK Homework will only be given when I feel it will reinforce what is being done in the classroom. Please understand that just because you finally get something right once, doesn't mean you can stop working on it. We will be striving for consistency and quality. This requires a certain amount of repetition. Failure to complete homework assignments will lower your participation grade.
Your first homework assignment is to bring the following items to the next class:
- a 3-ring notebook with a section for Music Theory
- an assignment notebook
