Instrumental music is a curricular subject in District 65. There is an established curriculum, with district assessments and national standards. Starting in middle school students receive a grade for instrumental music on their report cards. The pullout program for lessons was established by CAC. It enables us to have block scheduling and run on a middle school schedule as opposed to a Junior High model of scheduling.
The group lesson schedule rotates on a weekly basis as evenly as possible. Students will miss the same class period once every 6-7 weeks. Students are expected in their lessons each week; attendance is a significant part of a performance based class’ grade.
A schedule is put out weekly. If a conflict arises, the teachers will endeavor to make accommodations, but this may not always be possible.
