If you would please send me an email with all the dates you know you will be gone, that would be marvelous. Summer is a time that is usually much easier for me to find a make-up lesson so please just let me know if you'd like that as an option for the times you will be gone.
I will NOT be teaching the following dates for the summer.
July 4
July 14
July 24
There will be no group classes over the summer.
The next event for our studio will be The Fiddle Recital on August 31st at 6:00 pm at Lindon City Park - 200 N. State St. This is a favorite event for students and parents alike!
Now onto the policy change.
Over the past year you have all been very patient with me as I added a new little person to our family. Because of the chaos of having a new baby, I chose to revert back to charging by the lesson as it was difficult for me to offer any sort of make-up lessons. Now that Genevieve is a little older I'm going to return to a tuition based system. This means that every month you will pay $100 for a 1/2 lesson slot and $120 for a 45 min slot regardless if there are 4 or 5 lessons in the month. The only month where this will change is December. You will only pay $75 for 30 min lessons or $90 for 45 min lessons. This means it will be much easier for you to budget for lessons. No longer do you have to wonder how much you owe every month because the annual tuition will be evenly divided into even payments! This will help free up time and energy for both you and I since we will no longer wonder how much lessons are each month. If you have something come up and cannot attend lessons I have a few options for you.
1. I will offer makeup lessons on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from 10:00 am -12:00 pm.
2. You can utilize the Switch List. I am creating a Switch List for my studio. If you choose to be on the list, then I will add your name, number, and time slot to the list and if someone is need of a switched time for that week then they may contact you and ask if it's a possibility. This means that if you have something come up,( i.e. Illness, accident, school play, soccer game, orchestra dress rehearsal, desperate need to attend the circus) then you have the option of contacting someone on the list for a switch. This is completely optional. If you do not wish to have your information available to others you don't need to opt in.
If you do not choose to use either option you are still responsible for payment of that lesson despite your absence. Please be assured that your tuition is always working for your child as I spend a great deal of time outside of lessons choosing repertoire, planning, strategizing, attending competitions, etc. So, even if you have to miss a lesson and cannot use the alternatives offered, you don’t have to worry about receiving less for your tuition. You’ll be receiving more energy, enthusiasm and a more successful lesson each week since I will have the appropriate time to give.
This policy change will go into affect in August 2017.
Phew! This is a long one and I'm almost done I promise!
So what do I need from you?
1. Dates you will be gone this summer.
2. Would you like to be added to the Switch List?
3. Mark your calendars for the Fiddle Recital!
Thank you so much for letting me teach your wonderful kids and please feel free to let me now know of any concerns or questions you may have!
