• Recital ~ April 19th, 3:30 pm
Everyone will have a solo for this recital, and some of you have ensemble pieces. Please make time for at least one rehearsal with your accompanist before the recital. Remember that ensemble playing is primarily for the learning experience: your ensemble piece may be cancelled or postponed if one or more players aren’t performance ready by the lesson proceeding the recital. To help defray costs for the recital, I will be adding a $15 per family recital fee to the tuition payment. Please bring a plate of cookies or treats for the reception after the recital, and be ready to shower the performers with compliments. =)

• 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. Credit will be applied to summer lessons.

• Group 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.

• Rates
Here’s a quick look at 10-week tuition base rates.
30 minutes - $200

• Summer Lessons
In late May, I will be giving a form with my available summer teaching weeks. Please mark the days you would like to reserve for a lesson, and your preferred time period and return it before the end of the spring term in June. I will only be teaching Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the summer. Please return this form as early as possible.
