Other Important Information to Know:
ALL STUDENTS
are responsible for coming to Orchestra and lessons on time, having their
instrument and music with them. Ms. Rensberger will be sending home lesson
schedules. Students are expected to bring their lesson/practice logs to every
lesson. It is more productive to play every day, even for only five minutes,
than to skip a day entirely. Goals are very important. Help your students
develop a healthy, daily practice routine! Also, please help them remember to
take their instruments and music to school on lesson days.
Students are also responsible for maintaining their own strings,bridges,
rosin, etc. If strings are getting old, worn, or broken, it is up to
the student to replace them. Sources of strings, and other string instrument
supplies, can be found on the links
page.

A concert is your 'test" in Orchestra and therefore part of your grade.
IF you can not make a concert, your parents must contact
Mrs. Nielsen,
or Ms. Rensberger, BEFORE
the concert. Absence due to due to work, or
conflicts, other
than illness, may be reflected as a lowered grade.
The yearly concert
schedule is published in the school calendar which is
received in August at
registration, in the Orchestra Newsletter, and
on this web site. Please plan accordingly.
Students are expected to stay for the entire concert.
DURING A CONCERT
In consideration of our performers, audience, and facilities,
please silence cellular phones, pagers, or timepieces,
and refrain from talking during the concert.
Please exit or re-enter only during applause,
and do not rest feet or legs on the seats in front of you.
Food and beverages are
prohibited, as is flash photography.
If you are attending with small children or infants, please sit in the
back, near an exit, so you can leave quickly if necessary. |
