Assignments
Practice Cards are due at the end of each quarter! Please remember to fill these out to the best of your ability and turn them in! A turned in card, even if it is blank, is worth more than a absent card. Remember you need 120 minutes a week average, or 20 minutes, six days a week if you want to do it that way! You can always practice more in another week to make up for a light week earlier I.e. 100 minutes one week and 140 another. If you did not pick up a practice card, or have lost it, please talk to Mr. Weseloh, who may supply you with another one. This is your homework grade for this class and it is worth the same amount as a concert!
