We've all heard the saying "practice makes perfect". In the world of music, it's true! In order to do well in class, on assignments, and be prepared for concerts, students need to practice. Practicing means a consistent amount of time each day spent working on lessons from class. These may be scales, exercises from the book, and/or concert music.
All students should aim for the goal of practicing 30 minutes every day.
However, I understand students are busy and there is not always time each day to practice.
Practice Expectations:
Grading:
100% On Time, Completed, Parent Signature
75% Incomplete, but with parent signature
50% No Parent Signature and/or missing more than 2 days
0% Not turned in by Friday of week due
For each day late, your assignment grade will drop by 10%. i.e. if turned in on Tuesday, you’ll have a 90%, Wednesday is a 80%, etc. An incomplete means 2 or more days missing and/or all questions not answered

Practice Expectations:
- AT MINIMUM, you should practice 20 minutes each day for 5 days each week.
- There will be extra credit opportunities for going above and beyond practice expectations.
- Practice Records are due the first school day of each week. PAY ATTENTION to due dates. Weeks do not always start on Mondays, due to holidays and other events.
- Friday is the last day you can turn in your record for the week. Once the next week begins, records from previous weeks will not be accepted.
- If you are sick, go out of town, or have an emergency, please turn in a parent note with your record in order to be excused.
