it's time for some Honor Roll!

-Stathia Orwig

Well, it's the spring and it's time to get ready for Honor Roll 2021! I'm so excited!

As many of our students know, Honor Roll is a BIG deal around here. Mostly because it's HARD and the end result is amazing. We've changed up a few things this year. 

First, I want to say that making it on the Honor Roll is not easy. It's for the student who is ready to practice harder than ever before. If everyone was able to do it, it wouldn't be so amazing would it? Just like Honor Roll at school, those who rise to the occasion, practice hard, and complete all of their work each week will be on the Honor Roll and receive one of two prizes. 

Here at this year's requirements:

• PRACTICE: individualized based on student’s fall “record”; add a day or 30 min to total from fall. Additionally, their practice log (assignment sheet) must be filled out to show their teacher.  This will earn up to 2 points each week.
• 40 PIECE/PAGE CHALLENGE: students receive 1 point for each new piece added to their list. 
• THEORY/TECHNIQUE: students receive 1 point for completed assigned theory &/or technique work. 
• MATERIALS/ATTITUDE: students receive 1 point for all books and materials present at the lesson and great attitude brought to lesson

This year, we are giving our students an opportunity to get extra points. ​ Students are limited to 12 total points for the entire duration of Honor Roll.

• Theory Test (2),
• Achievement Auditions (3),
• Memorize a piece (1),
• Learn a piece on your own (1),
• Other opportunities at teacher’s discretion.  ​

The 2 prizes are the composer bust for 65 points and higher. Those that get 50-64 points will receive the metal bookmark. Awards will be announced at the Spring Recital. 

Good luck!! Work hard! Let your teacher know if you have any questions!
