Challenges and impeding factors. ‌ The research shows that two types of issues can be distinguished for signed vocational music students: practical challenges and substantive issues. Vocational music courses are designed as full-time courses including up to 30 hours of weekly mandatory classes. When a student gets involved with a music company, it is a challenge to combine this class schedule with extensive professional activities. Missing out on classes has implications for the required academic hours in addition to substantive implications. With the classes providing in the preparation of tests and exams, the student also misses out on content relevant for developing skills and knowledge to the required standards. Curriculum customisation is needed to solve this practical problem, though this is difficult for schools to organise. First of all, schools provide their education collectively, providing all students with equal opportunities. This makes tailoring a curriculum to a specific student a challenge. Additionally, a school in principle has no resources available to provide extra coaching or attention to individual students. Another aspect impeding curriculum- and/or class schedule customisation is the fact that classes, projects, tests and exams are planned at least a year ahead and are mostly fixed for the three academic years. In combination with the use of academic years and semesters or quarters, this creates a challenge when aligning the curriculum with the music industry agenda. A music company does not plan activities using school years or semesters and will also work during most holidays when schools are closed. Additionally, last-minute performances or activities are common in the music industry, interfering with the long- term planning of an academy. In addition to the practical challenges, a major difficulty can be found in the substantive difference of the individual plans the school and the company provide the student with. The curricula of music academies are designed to develop the student in a broad way. An instrumentalist will also learn to write songs, a songwriter will also get music production lessons, all musicians will do projects in different musical genres, etc. This is based on the idea of developing students as versatile music professionals, improving their chances on a career in music. The industry plan however focuses on particular skills of the student, matching the agreed A&R-plan. If the core of this plan, for example, is the recording of an album, onl...

  • Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure.
