SYLLABUS/HANDBOOK

Included on this page is a sample syllabus/handbook for a band program encompassing three ensembles (Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Pep Band); the document details the program's expectations for student conduct, grading policy and relevant assignments/performances, financial obligations, opportunities for fundraising and parent/guardian involvement, and a contractual signature form that communicates the student and parent/guardians' understanding of the contents within the handbook and agreement with the program's rules and procedures. This handbook transparently communicates to students and parents/guardians the program's learning environment, assessment policies, learning experiences, and reflects my commitment to professionally collaborate with members of our learning community to ensure the best possible music experience for students.
