Like any other subject, the amount of practice time between individuals will vary depending upon your skill level. By being accepted and consequently enrolled in this class, you accept the responsibility that you will prepare your part to the best of your abilities. Failure to attend a class will be reported on the attendance report. If you do miss a class for any reason, it is your responsibility to contact a classmate to know what took place during your absence and to prepare for any class assignment or exam that will take place upon you return. Unexcused absences will result in a minus for any class assignment you missed.
Attendance is taken at the beginning of class.
If you enter after attendance is taken, you will be marked tardy. Three unexcused tardies are considered as one absence. You are tardy once class begins. Tardiness is especially disruptive because your individual part is important to an ensemble. If you are tardy, it is your responsibility to get the material you missed from a classmate.
