 Practice Logs Are you practicing enough? Practice records are due each Friday. Students must practice regularly to achieve a continuing level of success and improve on their instruments. All students regardless of performance level need to practice not only to learn the assigned music for class, but also to improve as performers on their instrument.

Students are expected to turn in a weekly practice record on Friday of each week. We expect our students to practice a minimum of 30 minutes daily. Practice records are graded.

Parent support is appreciated by encouraging at home practice and by signing the weekly practice record before your child turns it in each Friday. Parents may initial daily time or sign once upon completion of the record for each week.

Practice time will be graded as follows:

        Grade     Time Practiced (in minutes)
            100     180 – up
              95     165 - 179
              90     150 - 164
              85     135 - 149
              80     125 - 134
              75     105 - 124
              70       90 - 104
              65       75 - 89
              60       60 - 74
