Summer Lessons (July – August)
All lessons have resumed THIS WEEK (as stated in the June newsletter)! If you have forgotten to come to your lesson, you may reschedule this time, since it is our first week back. If you will be away for vacation, please notify the studio. Lessons during your vacation will not be charged. Scheduling can be more flexible during July and August since there is no school and there are more available time slots. Normal cancelation policy applies; if you need to reschedule due to conflicts, please let me know before the day of your lesson. Lessons canceled on the day of the lesson will be charged.
Fall Semester 2010
It is recommended that students who are at intermediate levels and above register for 45-min or one-hour weekly lessons. This is necessary for longer and more difficult repertoire, as well as preparation (music theory, technical skills, ear test, improvisation, transposition, sight reading) for many audition and festival events. Apart from the National Piano Guild Auditions in June, there are many other worthwhile opportunities available to our students, including:
California Certificate of Merit – run by Music Teachers Association of California – March/April
CAPMT Piano Auditions – run by California Association of Professional Music Teachers – November
For a complete list of student opportunities, please visit this link.
