• Makeups/Absences/Credit
The makeup policy is changing slightly this year. With at least 24 hours notice (BEFORE your lesson), you can accumulate a maximum of 2 “summer credits” per 10-weeks. You will NOT receive a refund or reduction in tuition. Instead, you may redeem lesson credits during the summer term. Each 10 weeks you will be billed the same amount. Summer credits will not be granted with less than 24 hours notice, except for illness, and no more than 2 absence credits will be granted per term for any reason. Notice must be in writing, by email, or by phone message.

• Group Classes
Group classes for all ages and levels will be on Wednesday evenings (see above and included schedule). 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 an instrument. To prepare for these classes, please review the included schedule and review the assigned pieces.
