| DESCRIPTION |
I
embrace a flexibility of choice and approach to an original repertoire
that is determined by the composition of the ensemble. Our
approach to the music will consist of a wide variety of possible
configurations depending on availabilities and abilities of those
interested. Instrumentation will be determined accordingly and can
include winds, voices, keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, percussion,
electronic instruments, et al according to availability and proficiency
of players. |

| ATTENDANCE
POLICY |
Attendance
includes performances and dress rehearsals as well as
regularly-rehearsals and specially scheduled rehearsals. Missing
a performance results in an F. Missing a dress or specially
scheduled rehearsal results in a D. One excused absence from a
regularly scheduled rehearsal will be permitted; thereafter, each
regularly scheduled rehearsal missed will result in a whole letter
reduction in grade. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ASSESSABLE LEARNING GOALS |
Members
of the ensemble will be assessed on the basis of whether or not they
can perform at least one part to a high performance standard, both with
respect to live performance and recorded performance. The
standard will be assessed by a rubric that will be made available to
the student. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OBJECTIVES |
Members
will develop psychomotor skills, technique, and verbal and non-verbal
communications skills in the context of ensemble playing.
Affective objectives are for the student to develop an appreciation for
practice discipline, along with an understanding that music can be a
path to life-long learning, self-expression, confidence, and
collaborative non-verbal communication as well as a career goal. |

| GRADING |
Grading will be determined
according to a rubric (that will be made available to the student)
after attendance policy criteria are taken into account according to ATTENDANCE POLICY. |

| SCALE |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A
WORKING E-MAIL ADDRESS, AND RESPONSIBLE FOR MY HAVING IT, AND TO CHECK
IT DAILY |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| FURTHER CLARIFICATION OF GRADING |
The
preparation aspect of the grade will be determined by the success in
executing assigned parts when directed. All parts are to be
memorized. A good grade for rehearsal demeanor and preparation
means that behavior is not disruptive or annoying, that there is no
unnecessary playing, that there is a minimum of talking, that music and
other necessary materials are brought to each meeting of the ensemble
as appropriate, that technical assignments are carried out
successfully, and that direction is focused on the getting the job done
with the highest musicality. |
