GENERAL INFORMATION: Lesson times are arranged individually.
Throughout the course of the semester you will be graded on Attendance
(50%), Preparation (25%), and Quantities of Literature (25%), both of which
result in Participation of 50%. This will be covered during the semester.
Make-up lessons will only be given provided that prior notice is given that the
lesson will be missed. Students are required to play a jury at the end of the
semester and in some cases, participate on the Student and Honor Recitals.
Preparation for juries will be a part of your lessons.
ATTENDANCE,

LESSONS
AND
WITHDRAWAL
POLICIES: Students are required to notify the instructor no later
than 24 hours in advance, with exception given to documented
emergencies, of any lessons that will be missed. Two make-up lessons
will be allowed per semester, if instructor time and studio space can be
arranged. Failure to give notice automatically counts the student as absent
and forfeits the private lesson. HCCS policy stipulates that the student may
be dropped after accumulating in excess of 12.5 percent of the hours of
instruction. This equates to two absences from your scheduled private
lessons. Also, because of performance or other schedule changes, the
instructor may schedule a different lesson time for the student on occasion.
Cooperation between student and instructor is essential when scheduling
private lessons. NOTE: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT
TO WITHDRAW OFFICIALLY FROM A COURSE. Administrative drops are
at the discretion of the instructor. Failure of the student to withdraw officially
will result in the student receiving a grade of "F" in the course.
