Group Piano for Youth at CMC

Interested in getting started but missed Fall Term Registration?

New Beginners’ classes occasionally open up in Winter and/or Spring term. Call the CMC office to be put on a contact list for future classes

(valid only thru early April 2014)

Group piano instruction at CMC follows a two-year sequential curriculum. Learning in a group setting is

a fun way to introduce this fabulous instrument, while getting “hands on” experience, making new friends & gaining musical skills! All classes are held in our piano lab using digital pianos that simulate acoustic grands.Sequential Classes – Piano Foundations Year 1 &

2, followed by Piano Laboratory. Foundations classes

now more clearly labeled by term (1-1 is first year, first

term). Class titles change each term. Continuing stu-

dents call the office for placement (823-3177).

Clear two-year course curriculum – Students are equally matched for a successful group class experience. See the chart below for details. Piano Foundations use books in the Piano Adventures series (available at CMC).

Progress Review – With the instructor’s guidance & approval, a student may repeat a term or advance. Two weeks before the end of each term the instructor makes evaluations & forwards them to the office staff. The family will be notified only if a change is required.

Consistent Schedule – During the school year, stu-dents continue at the same day & time unless repeating a term or skipping ahead.

Recital Opportunities - Playing music is better enjoyed when shared! While not a requirement, these performances connect us with others & increase confidence.

InstrumentRentals

String Lesson Program students at CMC have a choice of two distinct ways of studying their instrument in weekly lessons. The age of the student, as well as how much the parent is able to attend lessons and work with the student at home will have a large part to play in making this choice.

Traditional (Teacher/Student) Method: This is the classic one-to-one approach to learning an instru-ment. The string player will practice every day at home be-tween lessons on assignments given by the instructor. Parent involvement is not required, however parents of young stu-dents are often encouraged by the instructor to assist the child in the practice room. Parent observation of lessons is usually optional (but is recommended under age 9). Parents do not have to be musically trained.

Suzuki (Teacher/Parent/Student) method:This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle” between teacher, parent & student. The parent, who does not need to have prior musical training, learns with the student & serves as the role model for the young player between lessons. Parents assist the young stu-dents in their practice at home each day as assigned by the in-structor. When the student is not practicing the family listens to the recordings of the songs as much as possible to create the immersion that the method requires for the best learning experience. The goal is that music becomes like another lan-guage in the home. Parents are required to attend the Suzuki Parent Orientation class in September (see below) prior to placement with their first teacher.

Suzuki vs. Traditional: which method should I choose?

Parent Orientation - Suzuki age: 18 & upBuild harmonious connections at home! Discover the important dynamics of student, teacher & parent/guardian in this method. Observe demonstrations, get insightful information & find the confidence needed to help beginning violin, viola, & cello students succeed.

Practice Requirements

It is important that students take lessons seriously, prac-tice every day (at least as long as their lesson length), complete any homework assigned by instructors, & progress in-step with their ability to learn.

Students who are not progressing in-step with their ability to learn will receive instruction on how to im-prove practice habits. If no progress is made, CMC will require the student and/or parent to sign an agreement on how to improve the practice.

Attendance Requirements & Policies

Because regular attendance is important, lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable instances. As a courtesy to everyone an absence affects, the CMC office should be notified as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are classified as either Excused or Unexcused.

Excused Absence: Student illness or other unavoid-able cause with notification as defined below. Excused Absences will be credited.

Student Illness - CMC is notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be excused.Other Unavoidable Causes - CMC is notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time. This allows time to notify the teacher and make necessary sched-ule changes.

Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or make-ups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused Absences a term, three Excused Absences in a row, or four Excused Absences during a term.

Because space is limited, a student may be dropped from the program if any of the above requirements

are not met.

CMC’s Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the high-est quality music education to as many dedicated stu-dents as possible, regardless of the ability to pay. In a continuing effort to achieve these goals, students & par-ents should seriously con-sider the following require-ments before committing to take lessons at CMC.

Withdrawal Policy

Once accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through mid-June CMC understands that ex-tenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before the school year ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows:

Notify the CMC office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the remaning lessons in the term. A student withdrawing before the start of a term, including those not continu-ing in Winter or Spring, must notify the office at least one week before the first scheduled lesson. Failure to do so will result in additional fees based on the time of notification. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

Musicianship Requirements - Strings only

The CMC String Program for Youth is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements:

Beginning string students are required to concurrent-ly enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Basic Skills, On My Way with Basic Skills, Skills I, or Skills I/II Accelerated (see page 6 for course descrip-tions & age ranges). Four year-olds are exempt from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning & are required to take Skills at age 5.

Continuing string students are required to concur-rently enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Music Skills, Orchestra, Center Singers, Voice, Piano, Guitar, Suzuki Group Class, or Chamber Music. Students who are receiving training of like quality else-where may apply for an exemption from enrolling in an additional CMC activity.

Woodwind & brass students are exempt from the musicianship requirement, but are welcome to take any enrichment class listed below at the reduced fee.

Private Lesson Program for Youth – Program RequirementsCMC's Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the highest-quality music education for as many dedicated students as possible, regardless of ability to pay. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements, which parents & students should carefully consider before committing to lessons at CMC.

1. Practice RequirementsStudents should practice daily for at least as much time as their lesson length, complete any homework assigned by instructors, and progress in keeping with their ability to learn. NOTE: Students who fail to progress to the best of their ability will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If progress is still not made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign and fulfill a practice-improvement agreement.

2. Musicianship Classes (required for strings, optional for winds & brass)The CMC program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians.• Beginningstringstudentsarerequiredtoenrollin,attendregularly,anddosatisfactoryworkinBasicSkills,OnMyWay With Basic Skills, Skills I, or I/II Accellerated (see page 6 for course descriptions and ages).

See the CMC office for details.

3. Attendance Requirements & PoliciesRegular attendance is important. Lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable circumstances. When a student must be absent, notify the CMC office as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are either excused or unexcused, as defined below:Excused Absence: • StudentIllness–CMCmustbenotifiedatleastonehourbeforethescheduledlessontime.Onlyoneillnesspertermmay be Excused.

Extenuating circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

5. Withdrawal PolicyOnce accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through mid-June. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before the school year ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows:• NotifytheCMCofficeonefullweekbeforethenextlesson&arefundofpaidfeeswillbeissuedforthelessonsthatremain in the term.
