Grading

We will grade in four categories: Music History, Music Theory, Music Performance and In Class Work/Daily Assignments.

Music History activities and lessons will include:
  • Music history timeline
  • Composers
  • Form in music
  • Listening

Music Theory activities and lessons will include:
  • Solfege and sight reading
  • Rhythm
  • Music vocabulary and International Phonetic Alphabet

Music Performance activities and lessons will include:
  • Proper performance and audience etiquette
  • Concert preparedness and performance (attendance)
  • Musical Theatre presentations

Class Work and Daily Assignments will include:
  • Class surveys
  • Participation points
  • Self evaluations

As in every class, 15% of the overall semester grade will come from the semester test.  Semester tests vary by choir and semester, depending upon what is being emphasized at that time.  Semester tests may include, but are not limited to:
  • Paper/pencil test on theory, history, vocabulary
  • Individual or group projects pertaining to information studied over that semester
  • Recording session demonstrating performance mastery of semester's repertoire

What else you should know:

Once a grading window is closed, it is impossible for teachers to go back in and change grades for late work or missed performances.  We are able to have the registrar go in and make the change. However, while the overall semester grade (and final grade) will reflect that change, it will not change the quarter grade as it appear in Infinite Campus.
