Students in the 5th grade Music classes will learn about Music History and practice Music Performance using instruments provided by the teacher: flutes-recorders, mini-keyboards, percussion, etc. Some of which may be available for purchase. At the beginning of the school year all students will be provided with the âMusic Curriculum and Study Guideâ provided by the music teacher. At the beginning of each month students will receive âComposersâ Monthly Newsletterâ and other handouts, such as: âRecorder Methodâ, âMusic Dictionaryâ, âMusic Readerâs Aidâ, âThe Principles Of Songwritingâ etc. A copy of each lesson and the accompanying music CD will be left at the disposal of all 5th grade homeroom teachers. There will be a limited number of additional sources available: Some lessons can be checked-out and copied at the Media Center or viewed and printed from the schoolâs Computer Network. Some of the recorded music may be available for listening from the network in MP3 format. Selected reading materials (intended for demonstration purposes only) may be available for viewing and download here: http://www.liturgicalmusic.org

Students are required to provide their own folder marked âMusicâ with the studentâs name written in the top right corner of the folder. All lessons and handouts will be kept in the Music Folder. Each lesson will be read, explained and performed in class. Homework maybe assigned after each lesson. All writing must be done with an erasable pencil, unless specified otherwise. There will be a written test at the end of each semester. The test includes listening to the recorded music for the purpose of recognition and analysis. It may also require studentsâ instrumental or vocal performance. Band members are encouraged to bring their instruments and music repertoire for the classroom presentation.

Homework and tests will be graded based on a 100 points scale. Please refer to the Student Handbook for information regarding the grading system of St. Judeâs School. The information regarding student conduct and the consequences for not following the schoolâs rules and regulations are also included there. They will be enforced during the music course at all times. Incomplete work (unable to evaluate as a significant portion of the assignment is missing) will be given a âSecond Chanceâ option. Homework turned in late (âSecond-Chanceâ included,) will result in the final grade reduced by 10 if turned in within one (1) week of the assignment date. However, no points will be deducted with proof of a reasonable excuse. Late homework or incomplete homework will be accepted at any time by placing it in your music teacherâs mailbox located at the Teacherâs Lounge, or by the courtesy of the homeroom teacher.

Students are required to keep track of their progress by copying the dates and grades of their assignments to the âHomework Evaluation and Deadlinesâ sheet provided at the beginning of the school year.

âMusic Moneyâ for Effort/Conduct will be given to students who listen to music attentively (recorded or performed live,) sing, play a musical instrument, or participate in extra-curricular music activities such as: 1st Friday Liturgy, Christmas Program, Concert Band, Childrenâs Choir, etc. âMusic Moneyâ will be collected after each semester. Students are encouraged to share their ideas and experiences with classmates and the community, after consulting with the teacher for approval.
