Students are graded on performances, tests and quizzes, playing tests every nine weeks, daily attendance and classroom participation. Support in attaining this goal is crucial. The emphasis on attendance in the student grade is due to our belief that we are providing students with experiences and skills to prepare them for life beyond our classroom. The numbers of commitments that an excellent performing ensemble can have are extensive.
We work to develop leadership skills in each child, and student directed help sessions (peer tutoring) are a part of these lessons. We strongly believe that the more a child practices and performs, the more successful he or she will be in any subject area or extra-curricular activity. Private lessons and community involvement are encouraged. Both the expectations and performance standards we have for our students are very high. We are committed to encouraging our students to be independent learners and musicians, so that they may enjoy their instrument and the arts long past their high school careers.
