Note: Sectionals are subject to change and will be given advanced notice. In the case of Mr. Rodriguez being absent, prior notice will be given by email & remind notifications.
About Sectionals: Sectionals are designed to allow all instruments of a family to get together for an instrument only specific lesson. This is to help them become better musicians as the lesson is specifically designed for them and their technique. Sectionals allow Mr. Rodriguez to give more teacher-to-student attention. Sectionals also save time for class time instruction allowing it to run more efficient for whole group instruction.
About Pass Offs: Pass Offs are objectives and technical studies that students need to be successful in music. Technical proficiency is key to musical freedom. These include--but are not limited to--scales, binder/notebook checks, etudes, exercises, and parts of their music. Students are allowed to do them in individually or with a partner. If done with a partner, they must blend and match pitch. Pass Offs can be done during sectionals or lunch by appointment only. For scheduling, please see Google Classroom.
