Middle School Vocal Music Expectations and Consequences

Remember, your actions and attitude reflect back on you, the choir, and the school. Students are expected to practice behavior that facilitates individual and collective musical growth in all classroom and performance situations. The following classroom expectations and consequences are in place to ensure that all students have access to the optimal learning environment in classroom, rehearsal, and performance situations. All school and district policies apply. Copies of the Student Handbook are available in the district office.


Expectations:

  • Be on time to and prepared for all rehearsals and performances. This means you should be in your assigned seat, ready to begin at the time class is scheduled to start.
  • Resolve conflicts in a positive, professional way.
  • Ask appropriate questions.
  • Adhere to performance dress code, and take pride in your appearance.

Be open-minded.

  • Work energetically with your ALL of your fellow musicians to reach goals.
  • Communicate with teachers and peers in positive ways.
  • Be accepting of different types of music. There is something to learn from EVERY piece we study.
