Attendance Policy
Since we only meet once a week attendance is very important. More than two absences will result
in having your grade lowered one letter for each absence beyond two. You must attend
Departmental Seminars (last Tuesday of each month and can be counted for concert attendance).
VI.
Exams
All students are required to perform in a jury for the music faculty at the end of the semester. The
grade from the jury will count towards 25% of the final grade.
VII.
Grading
I will determine the remaining 75% of your grade based upon effort and achievement. I will present
progress reports upon request.
