Chorus Grading Policy
The Middle School Choral Program is designed to teach students the elements of musicianship, collaboration, professionalism and teamwork. The curriculum encompasses music theory, sight-reading, language-learning, part-singing, vocal pedagogy and repertoire.
Students receive a grade on their report card each quarter, and this grade, like other academic subjects, becomes part of the student’s overall average.
For 8th grade singers, grades are divided into two categories:
60% collaboration and rehearsal skills
40% exam scores and graded assignments
For 6th and 7th grade singers, grades are divided into three categories:
50% collaboration and rehearsal skills
30% exam scores and graded assignments
20% lesson attendance
***Extra help is always available; simply schedule an apoointment with either Mrs. Menges or Ms. Conte!***
