Every Saturday, 9 am – 11 am
1st Class: Saturday, September 23, 2023
**Tuition: $390 + $25 Registration Fee; Registration fee waived if paid in full. Monthly payments can be arranged.
By Teacher Recommendation
Open to students who have played the violin, viola, cello or bass for 3 years or more and who are able to read music fluently. Playing in higher positions is encouraged and an asset but not required this year. Students will continue their orchestral journey, growing as musicians via playing various genres of music which will require varying techniques and nuances.
attendance policy
As a part of a “music team,” which is very similar to an athletic team, every student is important! Students are highly encouraged to attend classes every week for their benefit and the benefit of the ensemble/team as a whole. This takes a commitment to your team/ensemble. At the same time, we understand that situations do occur. Students are allowed 3 absences in each semester, or 6 for the entire year. While these absences are allowed, it is the students/parents responsibility to contact the instructor to find out what was missed and be prepared for the next class. If help is needed,
please ask your private or class teacher for assistance. Please let the instructor know of any extenuating circumstances that may require individual
financial assistance
MYPO is reaching out to various funding sources to assist in covering the tuition fees if
needed, especially at this difficult time. We will not turn students away due to
financial reasons, but will work with each family to find various, workable solutions.
