Private Lessons
Private lessons are scheduled every other week. Beginners typically start out with 30 minute private lessons and eventually transition to 45 or 60 minute lessons when they are ready and space is available. On alternate weeks there are two fiddle club opportunities on Monday and Thursday evenings. Students are welcome to come to one or both fiddle clubs! Monday clubs are split into 3 levels and are on line via zoom. Thursday clubs are for all levels and will transition to outdoor jams when the weather is nice!
Performance
Opportunities
Performance opportunities are scheduled throughout the year and include solo performances, group performances, and student jams. Preparing to perform for family, friends and the larger community inspires us to work hard toward concrete goals. The sense of accomplishment we get from performing (and preparing) is priceless!
Practicing
Practicing at least five days per week is expected in order to make progress. It’s a good idea to set aside the same time each day so that it becomes a daily routine. Being prepared for lessons and performances is an important factor in keeping motivated and having fun.
Tuition
Tuition is calculated in three sessions throughout the year:
Spring (mid January-May),
Summer (June-August)
Fall (September-mid December).
The cost for each session varies depending on the number of weeks, but to give you an idea, 30 minute lessons come out to about $160 a month including a monthly group jam. Email Katy to get a copy of the current session schedule with exact tuition amounts. Students are welcome to start in the middle of a session at a pro-rated cost if space is available.
Tuition is not adjusted due to missed lessons, however each student is offered one free make up at the end of each session.
