What is expected of me?

Attend classes and do your best in all lessons. Follow instructions.

Bring to class, or leave in class, what you need: clearfile, pencil, eraser, sharpener, pens. I’ll supply everything else you need – look after it!

Attend itinerant lessons in your chosen instrument or voice, and keep up your playing or singing through the week (this will be your main homework).

Perform with others and to others. Be prepared for your performances – this will involve group practices.

How is this course assessed?

Mainly by performance. You will perform to the class (not as scary as it sounds – we get used to it together) and be recorded. Assessments are held at various times through the year as the opportunity arises, usually in class concerts, assemblies or other performance opportunities. Your best results are used to give you your grades - you can do another assessment and improve your grade.
