Practice Journals

Practice Journals are to be used as a tool for students to reflect and record what they are practicing. This assignment is required of all band members.

1. Your practice time should be divided into 20-30 minute sessions with a minimum of 5 sessions a week. If you do not practice for a 6th or 7th session please fill in the space with "did not complete." You are only required to complete 5 sessions but extra points will be given to those who complete 6 or 7 sessions.

2. In each 9-week quarter you are responsible for 8 practice journals. This gives you one free week if a journal is missed.

3. Each Monday evening you will submit this form online or if internet is unavailable, by paper Tuesday in class.

4. Each session is worth 10 points for 5 sessions totaling 50 points. The reflection portion of the journal is worth 50 points.
