Welcome to Music! Miss Rhodes
class RULES Don’t talk when others are talking. It’s rude and bad manners to talk over someone else when they are giving an opinion or an answer. Respect everyone else in the class including the teacher, fellow pupils, the instruments and equipment. Keep your hands and feet to yourself. Come to class ready and willing to learn and with the correct equipment and resources (when needed)! Respect each other! Everyone in the class is an individual and has the right to be included, respected and listened too. Negativity – comments, thoughts etc. should be left at the door.
