FEBRUARY, 2012

FEBRUARY 1-29 LESSONS

FEES FOR NATIONAL GUILD AUDITIONS

It is that time of year to get all my students enrolled in the Guild Auditions.  This is not optional, but a requirement of all my school-aged students.  You will see the fees on your bills this month.  Again, prompt payment is requested because this $719 fee will come out of my savings until you pay your fees to me.

HERE IS HOW I WILL RECTIFY
THE LOST LESSONS:

Regular lessons will resume Tuesday, February 7 at your regular times.  Come from this time forward at your regular times just like nothing has happened.

MONDAY
LESSONS

On Friday, February 17 all students that have lessons on Monday will come for an additional lesson at their regular lesson times in order to make up your lost lesson.

TUESDAY
LESSONS

On Friday, February 24 all students that have lessons on Tuesday will come for an additional lesson at their regular lesson times in order to make up your lost lesson.

WEDNESDAY 
LESSONS

On Friday, March 2 all students that have lessons on Wednesday will come for an additional lesson at their regular lesson times in order to make up your lost lesson.

THURSDAY 
LESSONS

On Friday, March 9 all students that have lessons on Thursday will come for an additional lesson at their regular lesson times in order to make up your lost lesson.

 STUDENT OPENINGS

I have two early afternoon openings for students, if you know any homeschooled students and/or adults interested in these times. 
Please remember that your contracts require you upon termination of lessons to give me a month's notice and/or payment for that month.
New Method of Handling Missed Lessons:
If the person in front or behind the student's assigned lesson time reports they will be missing, I will check my list and see if the student needs an extra  lesson.  If the student's name is on the list then I will call and see if the student can come earlier or stay later (whichever the circumstance should be) and we will have a double lesson.  

It has become so hard to get students to come at any time except their own that I am going to try this new method of catching up.

THANK YOU!

I am so appreciative of all of your patience due to my accident last Tuesday morning, January 31st.  It shows that even piano teachers have accidents and that we are not as perfect as we would like to be.  I am wearing a quite ugly brace for 2-3 weeks on my hip and leg but it will not impede my teaching and preparing my students for the upcoming Ensemble and Guild.

THE QUARTERLY SATURDAY CLASS FOR FEBRUARY 11th HAS BEEN CANCELLED!

With all my responsibilities for Ensemble in the coming weeks and the compositions that I will be judging for MTAC (I have a close deadline on that) there was just no way that I could reschedule the class.  No one is more disappointed than me because I had great plans for this class. I apologize for this inconvenience.
