Students are encouraged to video tape/record their lesson so that the student can review the lesson or particular pieces or vocal exercises for further instruction.
XI. Course Policies Attendance at each weekly lesson is mandatory for vocal development to occur. Students are to attend and be prepared for 13 lessons each semester Students are required to prepare (in the manner stated in the Course Objectives) and memorize a minimum of 3 pieces, at least one in Italian. Students should not assume that they are too ill to sing. They should come to their lesson, and the instructor will decide if the student should sing. In order for the student to receive an excused absence, the student should bring a doctor’s excuse or a note from the Academic Dean. Make-up lessons will only be scheduled when the absence is excused. If a student will miss a lesson due to a college function, the student should notify the instructor as far in advance as possible. If the instructor misses a lesson due to a professional engagement, the lesson will be made up at the mutual convenience of the student and instructor. Students are to arrive promptly for their lesson (knock on the door at your assigned lesson time) Students are expected to practice a total of one hour per day of individualized practice (singing in choir does not count!) Students should practice in four 15-minute sessions. Students are required to bring a notebook and pencil to each lesson as well as all assigned repertoire. In the notebook, students are to list their weekly assignments as well as document their listening evaluations. Students will keep a weekly practice journal. Students must purchase their music. Copies of repertoire are not permitted. Required Dress for All Performances: Women, dresses of appropriate length and style, no excessive (or audible jewelry), appropriate heel height. Men: coat and tie, shoes and sock (appropriate color). The appearance you make upon entering the stage is vital to a successful performance. If you have any doubt about your wardrobe, see your instructor. Students are expected to contact the staff accompanist and schedule rehearsal times for their student recital performances AT LEAST THREE WEEKS prior to the recital. Students may sing in the South Carolina Chapter Auditions of The National Association of Teachers of Singing in March. Students must earn a B in the Fall semester to be allowed to sing at NATS.
