CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: All students are required to attend all classes and be on time.
KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Be respectful and mindful of your peers and the instruments. Do not play an instrument unless given permission to do so.
LEAVE IT CLEANER THAN YOU FOUND IT: You are expected to clean up after yourself everyday. Do not leave instruments out of place, trash on the floor, or your stuff in the classroom. Pick up after yourself. Please fold and put away all stands.
SAFE SPACE: Please help create a safe space in the music room. We will never judge or make fun of another student for trying their best or trying something new.
