FAQ
-
What if I was sick? What if it was a family emergency? Do I still have to do the make-up assignment?
-
​Yes. It is only fair to the students who attended the rehearsal and did the work.
-
-
What if I missed more than one rehearsal? Do I have to do only one make-up assignment or more?
-
The number of rehearsals you missed should equal the number of make-up assignments you complete. If you miss 2 rehearsals, you must complete 2 make-up assignments.
-
-
If I have to do more than one make-up assignment, can I do the same type (two composer reports)?
-
No. You must choose two different types of make-up assignments. So if you miss two rehearsals, you could do the relaxation video and composer report.
