Your grade in band is based on your effort.
Daily class effort and behavior
Effort and conduct during trips and concerts
Completion of all assignments
At-home practice
Daily Preparation
Each day, you will be assessed on your preparation. This means arriving on time with:
Your instrument
Binder (with music, lesson book, and other materials)
Pencil
Your grade is not based on how well you play.
You will receive feedback on all assignments, especially performance tasks.
My goal is to help you improve and grow as a musician.
Your progress is measured by your own effort, responsibility, and personal growth—not compared to classmates.
