Effort/Participation
- This makes up the majority of your grade in music.
- It is worth 10 points.

- As long as a student is engaging in the class (ie: singing with the group, participating in our activities, contributing in a positive way), he/she will receive the base grade of 9
- To earn a 10, a student has to go "above" expectations (ie: being a leader in our singing, raising his/her hand to answer/ask questions, making a big contribution to the class)
- Students who do not sing with the group, refuse to participate, or contribute to the class in a negative way, will receive an 8 or lower
