The Trojan Children's Choir

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

• The student will be held to a high level of music making abilities. This means that at every rehearsal they must be ready to:

  • Follow directions

  • Remain focused and dedicated

  • Be kind and respectful to their fellow choir members

  • Have fun :)

• The student will receive a folder of music. It is their job to:

  • Only use pencil on the music

  • Bring the music to EVERY rehearsal

    • (tip: leave music in your backpack!)

• If the student loses their music, they must pay $30 to replace the music

• Students must practice at home once the directors have provided practice materials. This allows us to choose more advanced music in the future.
