Homework/Practice Log Challenge!


Practice and Rehearsal Policy:

Students are required to practice for at least 10-15 minutes, a minimum of 3 times a week. Rehearsals are dedicated to assembling the parts and refining the piece as a whole under the conductor's guidance. To ensure productive rehearsals, students must work with their private lesson teacher before rehearsals to polish their technique and be prepared to perform as part of the ensemble.

During rehearsals, teachers will evaluate each student’s performance. Students needing additional support will be assigned video recording homework, which must be submitted by the specified deadline. Teachers will review these recordings, provide feedback, and suggest areas for improvement. Students are expected to address these comments and be ready to incorporate the changes at the next rehearsal.

Given our limited 45-minute weekly rehearsal time, it is essential that we focus on group refinement rather than individual practice. Students must complete their personal practice and technique development before attending rehearsal. A lack of effort and commitment to improvement may result in the student being temporarily removed from the orchestra, requiring a re-audition once they are ready to contribute effectively as part of the group.

Our collective success depends on everyone’s focused dedication and commitment.

To add a bit of fun and motivation, we’re introducing a 'PRACTICE LOG' (below) a weekly practice challenge! Let’s see who can log the most practice minutes each week. As a friendly incentive, students who practice less than 3 times a week will give a small snack (e.g., bubble gum, banana milk—something under 2,000 won) to the student who practiced the most. Give the snack to the winner at the next rehearsal. Don’t forget to ask the winner what they’d like as a reward!
