Attendance
Policy
Since
we only meet once a week attendance is very important. More than two absences will result
in
having your grade lowered one letter for each absence beyond two. You must attend
Departmental
Seminars (last Tuesday of each month and can be counted for concert
attendance).
VI.
Exams
All students are required to perform in a jury
for the music faculty at the end of the semester. The grade from the jury will
count towards 25% of the final grade.
VII.
Grading
I
will determine the remaining 75% of your grade based upon effort and
achievement. I will present
progress
reports upon request.
