Technique Tuesdays - On Tuesdays students will be given a few small techniques to work on in small groups.  I will then rotate between the groups to assist in understanding and further demonstrate if needed.  Students will be graded on their focus, effort and skills accomplished skill during the work session.   Each student will be assessed on an individual level of understanding and ability.

 A few Technique Tuesdays will be omitted due to concerts and / or school testing schedules.

On Wednesdays there will be quick checks on each students note articulation, intonation and rhythmic control.  Students can perform the set task in front of the class on selected Wednesdays, or they can sign up for a time outside of class.  Optional times are on the scheduled Wednesday before school, at middle school break or after school.

Note Navigator Wednesdays will be omitted due to concerts and / or school testing schedules.

Theory Worksheet - On Thursdays we will study Music Theory.  We will work on and complete worksheets, using Google via iPads, each Thursday and turn them in at the conclusion of class.  We will go through all the questions on the theory worksheet in class.   

 A few Theory Thursdays will be omitted due to concerts and / or school testing schedules.

Performances in the form of Concerts and Small Ensemble/Solo Workshops will occur throughout the school year.  These performance opportunities are a large section of each students grade.  They are the final assessment of each students accomplished work and completed skills.  Performances are also an awesome place to play with friends and showcase a lot of hard work for family and friends!
