    Expectations for Band Lessons

    Mrs. Martin

    2024-2025



    • Students must come to their lesson each week on time. Please check the lesson schedule on your way to class each morning.

    • If students cannot attend their regular lesson time due to a test or student services, they will have the opportunity to attend a make-up lesson.  Students must see Mrs. Martin immediately to make arrangements for a make-up lesson time.

    • Students are expected to come to their lesson prepared with their instrument and music each week. 

    • Students who do not come to their lesson or are unprepared for their lesson will lose points on their weekly lesson grade.

    • Students are expected to practice their instruments at home each week.  They should aim for 20 minutes each day.

    • Students will receive a grade on their report card each trimester for lesson/band participation.  Students' grades are based on effort given, being prepared for lessons and musical growth throughout the year.
