No levels=technique grade in each lesson. Since levels have been removed, this forces some changes in our procedures. Each lesson gets two grades: technique=15% of the semester grade, repertoire=40% of the semester grade. Rounding out that 100% is jury=25%, writing=10%, technique exam=10%.
Blogs=notebooks become unofficial. You should still bring a lesson notebook to your lessons, but this will become a venue for you to take notes. During each lesson, I will type my notes directly into your blog, including the grade.
Grades will sometimes be deferred. I am uncomfortable with grading every lesson, because when playing an instrument I don't think we learn in one-week chunks. Occasionally, I will defer a grade to the next week, and then that grade will count as the grade for both weeks.
