• Makeups/Absences/Credit
With at least 24 hours notice, a makeup or credit will be granted, makeup preferred. If a suitable makeup time cannot be found, or if less than 24 hours notice is given, credit will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The credit will be applied to the next 10-week term payment.
• Group Class/Improvisation Class/Suzuki Parent Class
Group classes for all ages and levels will be on Wednesday evenings (see schedule above). If your child is not enrolled in an orchestra or playing with a family group or other group regularly, I strongly urge you to attend these group classes. Ensemble playing is an important part of learning to play the violin or viola.
If you are interested in learning improvisation (making up melodies on the spot…great for worship or fiddle jamming), I would like to start a class for more advanced students (book 3 & above) after group classes (8-8:45). This is not scheduled right now, but based on interest. I need at least 3 regular students to hold the class.
After the October 8th group class, there will be a Suzuki Parent Class. If you have not attended a parent class, it is mandatory, for all others, you are welcome to a “refresher” course. In this class, I will be presenting the principles of the Suzuki Method, how you can give your child the best chance for success in learning the violin, avoiding pitfalls, and answering questions.
