Grading

Students will be graded according to the Three P Grading System

Participation 25%:

Students are to be in class on time, take notes, listen to instruction, and follow directions. (Every

student should be able to receive 100 percent of this grade.)

Practice 25%:

This area of the Three P Grading System requires students to simply write their practice time in their practice

log and have their parents sign it every week. Students are required to practice at least 45 minutes a day. (Practice logs will

be checked every Monday).

Performance 50%:

This area of the Three P Grading System requires students to participate in all performances.

Students will receive a zero for their performance grade every performance they miss. Other parts of the performance

grade include playing and written quizzes. Students will also receive a zero if they talk during a playing or written quiz

without permission.
