ASSIGNMENTS
All assignments are to be practiced a minimum of five days per week. This work is to be
completed, recorded on the Practice Chart, initialed by a parent, and presented to Mr. Colaner on Monday of each week (Tuesday if there is no school on Monday). This year there is no longer a requirement that the Practice Chart be partially completed by the second rehearsal of the week. In fact, if students wish to leave their instruments at school overnight on Monday, that will be acceptable.
