Opera Class Schedule                              (Updated 11/10/03 11:30 pm)

NOTE:  Always bring with you to class:
- your music in an accompanist friendly format
          (in 3 ring binder with pages back to back, taped together, not stapled)
- a cassette recorder with tapes and extra batteries
- a pencil for making notations in your music
- your most professional and positive attitude

If you have an emergency and will be late or absent from a rehearsal, please do your best to get ahold of Jennifer (562.208.8618) and your coach or director for that rehearsal - leave a message if no one answers.  If you have to leave a message, please try to reach one of your scene mates, so that they can pass on the information in case your message hasn't gotten through to anyone.  Your grade for the class is largely dependent upon your attendance and preparation at rehearsals, and calling in when you need to be late or absent is a part of your class responsibilities.  Please call in as early as possible so that schedules can be adjusted if necessary.

Please see the CLASS SYLLABUS for more information on grading.
