- 1. Attendance and Participation-
- Because of the nature of this course as a ‘practicum’, the most important aspect of the class is that you actually have ‘practice’ in the concepts of the course.
- The course is built around a decreasing amount of instruction and an increasing amount of guided student activity.
- This means that student should be present, on time, with their instrument in good repair, tuned and/or warmed up and ready to go.
- 2. Attitude-
- That is good attitude.
- Because it is a student practicum, involving students with differing levels of skill and experience, a positive, gracious attitude will be required at all times.
- Students should arrive with a ‘ready to learn’ attitude, as well as a willingness to help others.
- 3. Practice-
- In order to make the most of the class time, it will be necessary for the student to learn and/or practice songs outside of class time.
- For the benefit of themselves and their classmates, the student will be expected to do their best to be able to participate in class activities with skill and excellence.
- 4. Textbook reading and book reports-
- Students are to read the course textbooks in their entirety and write an 800-1000 word report on each book.
- Either book can be read first, but each student will read both books.
- Each book report will contain the following information:
- a. A brief summary of the book highlighting the author’s main message and its development.
