Communication is my best contact! lora.ukaegbu@ahschools.us I will information needed for student success. I will send information home with students prior to upcoming concerts. I will post information about upcoming events on my website. Teacher Grading Practices Grade Posting: 3 times a trimester midterm, two-week notice and final. Rehearsal Expectations and Learning Targets o Formative Assessments take place each rehearsal by the teacher. o Self-evaluation+ teacher-evaluation assessments are given monthly based on a set of criteria within MN State Music Standards and learning targets - 40% Required Performances 40% Written assignments, quizzes, playing tests 10% Playing Tests will be assessing the following areas of musicianship: o Correct notes o Correct rhythm o Accurate articulations (tonguing, slurring, accents, staccatos) o Accurate dynamics (forte, piano) o Steadiness of beat o Posture o Embouchure (formation of your mouth or hand position) o Quality of sound District Summative Assessments 10%. Rehearsal Rubric Example:
4 Concerts are Required for State Standards! Concerts are the culmination of months of study and hard work by all band members. We rely on 100% attendance at each concert. This is a required part of our band program. o Concerts are worth 40% of a student s grade o Students will not automatically earn 100% for simply showing up to the concert. A Concert Grading Rubric will be used as both a self-evaluation and teacher evaluation after each concert. o The Concert Grading Rubric is used to maintain fairness with points earned for each concert based on curriculum expectations. o The rehearsal rubric example on the previous page is similar to the concert rubric (dress code, timeliness, preparation, posture, music knowledge, etiquette). Required Concert Dress Code Concert dress is something we should all take pride in! When on stage, in front of an audience, it is necessary to realize the importance of that moment. Concerts are special and our dress reflects an event that is above our normal everyday routine. *Dress in a dressy style with ALL black color (down to the shoes). An optional splash of color in a tie, scarf or jewelry is allowed. No Jeans, Yoga Pants/Leggings (unless under a skirt) or Tennis Shoes. Winter Concert and Band Blast Concert Dress Shirt (minimum of cap sleeve length) Black Dress Pants (best) or black skirt (below knee) Black Socks/Tights Black Dress Shoes May wear splash of color such as: Tie, Scarf, Jewelry No Jeans, Yoga Pants/Leggings (unless under a skirt) No Tennis Shoes. Spring Concert Purchase AMSA Band T-Shirt + Black Bottom
5 Concert Etiquette Every member of the band must perform with focused attention. Any large movement, twisting heads, giggling, laughing, elbowing surrounding musicians, talking or playing instruments, obnoxious noise making with instrument equipment, acknowledgment of people in the audience (waving), takes attention away from the performance. Students who continually break this concert protocol and etiquette will be asked to leave the stage and go sit with their parents during the concert! 1. Enter the stage quietly, looking straight ahead 2. Remain standing until the conductor gives the signal to sit down. 3. Do not talk between songs. 4. Between songs, remain focused when the audience is applauding. Resist the temptation to adjust your music on the stand until the applause has stopped. 5. Leave the stage quietly and realize that the audience can still hear you backstage. 6. Listen to others when they are performing. 7. Do not ridicule, discredit, or criticize performance of others. 8. When you are finished playing, avoid leaving during the performance of others. 9. Encourage other performers, as you would wish to be encouraged! 10. Even if the performance of others did not strike you favorably, attempt to find some positives to discuss with others. 11. Unless it is a competition, concerts are not meant to be band against band or performer against performer. It is a time when fellow musicians share in the love of music and strive towards the fulfillment of musical potential together. Concert Excused Absences Must have pre-authorization and include: Sick from school that day. Post notice to teacher within 48 hours (note or ) Out of town (notify teacher by 1 week before concert date) Religious/Cultural (notify teacher by 1 week before concert date) Concert Unexcused Absences List includes but not limited to the following: Sports practices or games Dance practices or recitals Lack of transportation o Forgot to bring instrument/music home from school.

Since this is part of our Performing Arts Curriculum, sports/dance practices and games do not count as an excused absence.

My students are made up of students that are not in Ms. Olson s Jazz band (7-8 th graders) and well established 6 th graders. Instruments in jazz band include: saxophone, trumpet, trombone (maybe baritone), percussion (parts are rotated and shared), piano (must be accomplished), electric and bass guitars (must read notes and chords). Students, grades 7-8, that do not make it into the top level jazz band. 6 th grade students that show enough progress near end of October-January. Commitment is yearlong! We depend on every member at rehearsals and concerts through our last concert.
