1.
Students
must be in attendance and on time at all rehearsals and performances. If sickness or an emergency situation
requires that the student be absent from a rehearsal, the student must arrange
for a substitute. It is the studentÕs responsibility to notify the
instructor in advance and get the music to the substitute. (It is also the responsibility of the
student to get his/her music back from the substitute for the next rehearsal.)
Failure to provide the substitute with the music for rehearsal, or failure to
get the music back for the next rehearsal may result in the lowering of the
studentÕs final grade. If the
student cannot reach the instructor, they should call the jazz studies office,
492-8810 and leave a message. An unexcused absence will result in the lowering
of the studentÕs grade. Students with three unexcused absences will be
immediately dropped from the class and assigned an ÒFÓ for the semester. Only
the instructor may determine what constitutes an Òexcused absenceÓ. Repeated
tardiness will result in a lowering of the studentÕs final grade.
2.
Each major
performance of the jazz band may have up to three sectional rehearsals prior to
a concert. In return for this
mandatory rehearsal time outside of regular class meeting time, the students
are given a minimum of equal compensatory time off, usually at the end of the
semester. Once sectional times and dates have been agreed upon, they are
mandatory. For each sectional missed, a letter grade of one-half will be
deducted from the studentÕs final grade.
NOTE: No substitutes are allowed for
sectional rehearsals.
For
each sectional missed, one letter grade WILL be dropped.
Tardiness
at sectionals will result in a lowering of the studentÕs final grade.
3.
Performances
scheduled after the semester begins will be mandatory for the student if no
objection is raised at the time of the query. Any student who misses a performance without permission in
advance from the instructor will be immediately dropped from the class and
assigned an ÒFÓ for the semester.
4.
No food or
drink (except water) are allowed during the rehearsal.
5.
Cell phones
and pagers are to be turned off and not used during rehearsals and
performances.
6.
Any
music handed out to students during the semester is the sole responsibility of
that student. Failure to
return any music to the jazz department that was handed out during the year
will require the student to pay for replacement of the missing music. When
music is no longer available from the publisher, student will submit a complete
part transcribed from the score utilizing a music notation program (Finale,
Sibelius, etc.) NO EXCEPTIONS!
7.
Final
grades will be based on attendance, tardiness, effort towards preparation of
music outside of class, and conduct in rehearsals.
8.
Students
are expected to act responsibly and professionally at all rehearsals and
performances. Concert attire is semi-formal; ties/coats for men. No tennis
shoes, jeans, or hats. At NO TIME are students permitted to drink alcohol at a
jazz rehearsal or performance.
Disabilities
If you qualify
for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to
me a letter from
Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs may be
addressed. Disability Services
determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard 322, and
http://www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices
Disability
Services' letters for students with disabilities indicate legally
mandated
reasonable accommodations. The
syllabus statements and answers to Frequently Asked Questions can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices
Religious
Observances
Campus policy
regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to
reasonably and fairly deal with all students who, because of
religious
obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or
required
attendance. See full details at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html"
Behavior
Policy
Students and
faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate
learning
environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be
subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially
important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of
race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance,
and nationalities. Class rosters
are provided to the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly
honor your request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun.
Please advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make
appropriate changes to my records.
