MUSIC APPRECIATION

COURSE SYLLABUS

FALL 2009

Instructor: Mr. Don Hofe                       

Location:  Room 37

Course Overview

This introductory class to music assumes little prior knowledge, and exists to help you become an active listener and consumer of music.  You will be exposed to music of many places, times, and cultures.   This class seeks to help you approach new or unfamiliar music with an open mind and understand how music works.  It is hoped that you will discover the connections among music, the other arts, culture, and history, and develop your discussion, writing and thinking skills.

Expectations

You must:

1. BE PREPARED
1. Be in class on time.  This means be in your proper seat, with materials, ready and eager to learn.
2. If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to work with me to make up the work.
3. No planner = no pass anywhere.
2. SHOW RESPECT
1. Treat others with understanding, respect, and courtesy; care for books, equipment and the room.  GUM, food or drink are not permitted in this room.
2. Do nothing that interferes with another’s right to learn or teach.
3. Know when speaking without being called on is and is not appropriate.  Speaking without being recognized while we are listening to music, during a quiz/test, or while the teacher is speaking disrupts the learning process for the entire class and is always unacceptable.

1. LISTEN ACTIVELY:
1. Be attentive:  listen, don’t just hear.  Real listening requires concentration without distraction.  Talking is never part of listening.

Living up to these expectations means we will be able to do more rewarding and challenging activities, enjoy ourselves more, and be able to have some choice regarding the ways in which we learn the material.

In return, you should expect me to:

1. Be prepared for class, do my best to make class interesting, teach and be willing to help.
2. Treat you: as an individual, with respect, care and understanding.
3. Do my best to be consistent and fair.
4. Really listen to you, and keep an open mind, even if we ultimately do not agree.
5. Provide an orderly, structured environment
6. Help you grow as a person and as a consumer of music.

Violation of classroom expectations leads to using the FCHS Progressive Discipline Policy.  If you receive a consequence and fell you have been unjustly accused, we can discuss this privately.  I will NOT debate the matter with you in front of your peers.  Anyone whose behavior constitutes a danger to him/herself or others, or who speaks in a defiant or abusive manner will be dealt with immediately.
