If you are absolutely unable to do so, please call me to arrange an alternate time. Medical excuses and university sponsored trips are acceptable reasons for missing lessons. Missed lessons that are not rescheduled or cleared with me will result in a lowered final grade of one letter. Attendance is required at all saxophone recitals. Please attend all of your fellow saxophonists' performances.
Lessons Be sure to have something prepared to play at all lessons.
In addition, come to your lesson with a notebook and your best reed. Studio Classes Attendance and participation at studio class is considered part of your lesson grade. Studio class will be held throughout the quarter each Tuesday at 2pm, unless there is a division recital or other music event. To a large extent, critiqued student performances will be the focal point of these classes. Grading Your final grade is based on lesson, studio class and recital attendance, preparation for lessons, improvement, the final jury, overall attitude and promt return of university-owned instruments.
