Project Based Learning Electives provided by the Berrien Springs Virtual Academy​
Music Study: Intensive Learning Labs      Fall 2022
​

LABS MUST BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER!
​Students are required to keep track of their weekly practice times and communicate those minutes with their music teacher.
All students are required to do a project for this class. Speak with your mentor for instructions.


Students and teachers must be able to readily switch to an online delivery and learning format at any point in the semester in order to register for classes.
​

Most music teachers are planning on providing in-person instruction unless the State of Michigan issues restrictions, in which case instruction must then continue online.  Some teachers may only be offering instructional labs online.  Be sure to clarify the current format from the start when you sign up with your teacher.

In addition to the required Music Project, the Partnership covers one Music Study intensive session (lab) per week for Kindergarten through 12th grade, up to our maximum weekly allowance.  Students in grades 6-12 may take an additional group music class.  Discuss fees with your chosen teacher before instruction begins; any amount charged above our allowance is the responsibility of the family.  

Students arrange for intensive training at a time that is convenient for the student and teacher.  Students must use a teacher who is already approved by the Partnership or the student will be responsible for all class fees. Approved teachers are listed on the instrument pages here on our website.
Contact Tanya at hspdocuments@shamrocks.us if you question whether or not a teacher is approved.

It is expected that once a student begins the class, he or she will continue throughout the remainder of the semester.  If steady, adequate progress on the Project, as guided by the student's mentor teacher, is not being made during the semester, the labs may be suspended.  Student may take one session and stop if they feel it is not a good fit.  You are responsible to take this class off your schedule.  If a student quits after more than one session but before October 7th, the family may be responsible for the costs incurred to that point. 

Teachers must contact Tanya Haselhuhn at hspdocuments@shamrocks.us to receive and complete paperwork to be eligible to teach Partnership students.

***Music teachers who teach Partnership students BEFORE being approved by the Partnership will NOT be paid for their efforts.

Links to teachers:  Piano       Cello       Violin      Guitar        Voice          Percussion      Other Instrument
