• 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 encourage you to attend these group classes. Ensemble playing is an important part of learning to play the violin or viola.

• Blog
Continue to check the blog for additional information and any last minute announcements. You never know when I’ll be updating … ☺ www.denasviolinstudio.blogspot.com.

I’ll be handing out invoices in January, but here’s a quick look at 10-week tuition base rates.
30 minutes - $200
45 minutes - $290
60 minutes - $380

• “Musical Revue”
The “official” recital will be in June this year, but I wanted to do a “Musical Revue” concert either the weekend of February 28/29 or March 7/8 with a theme, costumes, etc. Participation in this event is optional, but if you would like to participate, please submit your selection(s) to perform, either a solo or ensemble piece, by January 20. The number of pieces you may perform depends on the number of performers. If you would like to participate in a chamber group, let me know and I can provide music for 2-4 violins (or other strings) to play together, but you must be in charge of forming and rehearsing your own group. There are coaching options available.
