Weekly lessons are worth 10 points.
2 points = Arriving to the lesson with the required materials
3 points = Coming ready to participate and demonstrating a willingness to learn
5 points = Demonstrating practice and the ability to function as a musician within the group.
**Please note: Students are expected to attend their lessons. If a lesson is missed to complete a test/quiz or have a need to stay in class, it is the STUDENTS' responsibility to contact me. Failure to do so will result in a ZERO for that lesson. A school absence is an acceptable excuse for not attending a lesson and will not result in a penalty.
Students will be allowed 2 weeks (from the date of the scheduled lesson) to make up a missed lesson. After that time, the grade will result in a 0. Students have the option to record their missed lesson ONLY if they have made attempts to make it up and have spoken with Mr. Siekierski.
