Absences:

If unable to attend for any reason-please call me 24 hours in advance at 727-421-1956 and we will discuss an alternative to reschedule where possible. Occasionally lessons will be rescheduled when the instructor is performing. Three unexcused absences will result in the grade being lowered by one letter grade.

Repertoire:

The instructor will seek out the goal and the objective of the student which will result in a customized course to meet the demand along with the instruments fundamentals. Rhythms and basic hand techniques will be emphasized to prepare the student for the rigors of a professional or amateur career.

Grade:

The grade will be based on the following:

1) Quality of your weekly preparation of lesson material2) Performance and participation in class3) Completion of assigned homework4) Outside performance or attendance

The grade will be adversely affected by:

1) Non-attendance of lessons2) Non-completion of assigned homework3) Non-preparation or minimal practice4) Attitude

Concert/Performances:

Attendance of extracurricular events at the college or other locations will result in extra credit for this class-since much can be learned by watching others perform.
