Band Lesson Groups: Rules/Expectations
-
-
Respect each other & Mr. Bishop. Raise your hand, don’t interrupt somebody else, and try to help each other. A band is a working ensemble, meaning together.
-
Bring your instrument, music, and a pencil for lessons and rehearsals. If you forget your instrument you will still come for the lesson/rehearsal, practicing the appropriate technique for the music.
-
If you need to borrow an instrument or pencil you must trade a belonging in order to borrow the item (i.e. cell phone/iPod, shoe, hoodie, etc.) which will be traded back for the borrowed item from Mr. Bishop.
-
Please arrive promptly for scheduled lesson and rehearsal times.
Exceptions include tests/quizzes, projects. Please let Mr. Bishop know before or after.
-
Leave the band room cleaner than when you first walked in. If you see trash, throw it away, even if it’s not yours. Mr. Bishop is NOT your nanny!
-
Take care of your instrument by regularly maintaining it (i.e. oiling valves, greasing cork, tuning, whatever you need to do for your respective instrument), especially a school-owned instrument. Check with Mr. Bishop for any needed repairs or supplies FIRST; supplies are not free for the school.
-
All HEMS rules & policies apply to this classroom. Your behavior outside of band affects your participation in band.
