WWYD--credit question


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to figure out whether I should "award" my daughter credit for music as a course or just count it as extracurriculars. Here's what she did:

played harp for a youth orchestra (2 hr. class in the evening) (the local public school awards credit for orchestra, 5 periods of 45 min./wk)

private harp lessons (1 hr/wk.) + 3 hours/day practicing

music composition class (1.5 hrs./wk class, about 4 hours/wk spent on composing work)

 

Except for orchestra, these continue through the summer. WWYD? Credit or extracurricular? If credit, how much?

I would count this for credit... at least 1 credit a year.

Colleges are looking for good extracurriculars, so I'd use some of these as extracurriculars. I think I'd give I music credit for the harp lessons/practicing, 1 music credit for the composition class, and count the orchestra as extracurricular.
