Studio Policies
Five 7-week sessions are offered during the year.  All students registered in a session receive 7 private lessons and 4 group ensemble lessons.  The group lessons in Spring Session I are small performance groups used for preparation of the solo recitals.  No group lessons are held during the Summer Session; however, to keep a level payment plan, the group fee is spread evenly over all five sessions.

Most schedule conflicts with a student's private lesson time can be anticipated in advance.  For that reason, students are encouraged to make lesson trades with other students.  The procedure is to notify your teacher of the conflict date as soon as possible; she will give you names for possible trades or offer alternative times.  (But do not make lesson trades on your own without first discussing it with your teacher.)

Lessons missed due to snow days or teacher illness will be rescheduled during the 3 "emergency" days at the end of Fall Session II and at the end of Spring Session II.

Three extra weeks are incorporated into the Summer Session in order to schedule lessons missed due to vacations and other out of town activities.  NO other make-up arrangements are accommodated.
