Dear Friends of CMC,

As part of its 60th Anniversary, CMC is launching a “60 for 60” campaign with the goal to raise $60,000 and serve more students in need.

Children in families at the lowest income levels should have access to quality instruction. Your contribution to the non-profit CMC Inc. helps make it possible for us to grant need-based scholarships for music education, which improves the lives of our youth and increases harmony in our city.

Please call CMC at 503-823-3177 or visit www.CommunityMusicCenter.org to make a donation or pledge today. Thank you for your support!

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 are clearly labeled by term (1-1 is first year, first term). Class titles change each term. Continuing students 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.

Payment for CMC classes is due at the time of registra-tion. If full payment is not possible for the student, a payment plan may be set up. The fi rst payment of the

plan is always due at the time of registration.Payment Plans

For summer, one standard payment plan is available to CMC students/families registering in person:• Two payments per term (1st due at the time of registra-tion and the 2nd payment at mid-point of the term). Payment plans are scheduled on credit cards, which must have an expiration date past the date of the last payment. Those wishing cash or check payment plans, or needing a different schedule then the two standard plans, must sign a written agreement.

Late Fee• A late payment fee of $20 will be charged each month for a past due balance of 2 weeks or more. • Accounts with payments past due may also prevent stu-dents from enrolling in future activities and/or applying for scholarship tuition assistance; late accounts may also be sent to a collection agency. • The late payment fee is not reduced by scholarship.• If fi nancial circumstances make it impossible to meet the agreed upon terms of the payment plan, please contact one of the directors.

CMC Payment Policies

String Lesson Program students at CMC have a choice of two distinct ways of studying their instru-ment 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.

Non-Suzuki (Teacher/Student) Method: Non-Suzuki (Teacher/Student) Method: This is the classic one-to-one approach to learning an instrument. The string player will practice every day at home between lessons on assignments given by the instructor. Parent/guardian involvement is not required, however parents of young students are strongly encouraged to assist the child with at-home practice. Parent observation of lessons is usually optional, but is highly recommended under the age of 10. At the start of lessons you may wish to discuss this with your instructor. CMC requires parents of new students under the age of 10 choos-ing non-Suzuki lessons to register for & attend an orientation in September (see Parent Orientation in the Fall 2015 catalog, or call the CMC office).

Suzuki (Teacher/Parent/Student) method:Suzuki (Teacher/Parent/Student) method:This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle” between teacher, par-ent (or guardian) & 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 students in their practice at home each day as assigned by the instructor. When the student is not practicing, the family listens to the record-ings 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 be-comes like another language in the home. Parents are required to attend an orientation class in Sep-tember (see Parent Orientation in the Fall 2015 catalog, or call the CMC office) prior to place-ment with their first teacher. When filling out the Pre-registration form on page 19, please list avail-ability where the child and practicing parent can attend lessons together. Parents/guardians are wel-come to rent instruments from CMC to practice at home with their child - see below for details.

Suzuki vs. non-Suzuki: which method should I choose?

CMC has a limited number of violins, violas, cellos, basses, keyboards & guitars available for enrolled stu-dents to rent. Rental cost is $50 per term, with pay-ment due at the time of rental. Scholarships are available.

Rental process1. Call the CMC office (503-823-3177) to get on a wait-list for an instrument. This should be done even if you are not yet confirmed for private lessons (youth), or if you are on a group class wait list (adults). Youth private lesson students can get on the wait list by checking the appro-priate box on the Pre-registration form (page 19).

2. Once payment arrangements are made for private lessons/group class, set a fitting appointment with the instrument rental coordinator.

3. Meet with the rental coordinator. You’ll complete a rental agreement, make payment & receive your in-strument (if your size is available). If one is not avail-able, you may choose to remain on the waiting list.

Preference is given to scholarship students, then youth, then adults.

Practice RequirementsIt is important that students take lessons seriously, practice 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 not progressing in-step with their ability to learn will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If no progress is made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign an agreement on how to improve practice.

Attendance Requirements & PoliciesBecause 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 not made up 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 schedule 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.

Private Lesson Program Policy Information - String, Winds & Voice

Musicianship Requirement - Strings only *Applies to School Year Lessons*

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

Beginning string students age 5 and up are required to concurrently enroll in, attend regularly & do satisfac-tory work in a Music Skills class (see School Year catalog for information, or inquire at the office). 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 Skills or other ensemble class (see School Year catalog for more information). Students who are receiv-ing training of like quality elsewhere may apply for an exemption from an additional CMC activity.Woodwind students are currently exempt from the musicianship requirement, but are welcome to take any enrichment class at the reduced fee.

Withdrawal PolicyOnce accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer term. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise & occasionally a student must withdraw before the end of the term. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s with-drawal policy for private lessons is as follows:Notify the CMC offi ce one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the remaining lessons in the term.

Private Lesson Program for Youth – Program RequirementsCMC's Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the highest-quality music education to 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, & 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 Requirements Only for String students during School Year - Waived Summer Term

The CMC String program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians.• Beginning string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Basic Skills, On My Way With Basic Skills, Skills I, or Skills I/II Accellerated. Four-year-olds are excused from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning Music or Basic Skills, & are required to take Skills at age 5. String Program students may take these courses at a reduced fee ($17 in 2014-15).• Continuing string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Voice, Piano, Guitar, Suzuki Group Class, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see school year catalog or ask the office about prerequisites, special requirements, schedules & pricing).• The musicianship requirement may be satisfied if the student is receiving comparable training elsewhere. This must be documented with an Exemption Form. See the CMC office for details.• Students who begin in Summer become subject to the musicianship requirement upon enrolling for Fall Term.

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: • Student Illness – CMC must be notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be Excused. Subsequent illnesses will be Unexcused.• Other Unavoidable Causes – CMC must be notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time. This allows time to notify the teacher & make schedule adjustments. Excused Absences will be credited. Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or makeups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.

4. Causes for Dropping a StudentSpace in the Private Lesson Program is limited. At CMC’s discretion, students may be dropped for any of the following: • Failure to progress to the best of their ability.• Failure to fulfill the terms of a signed practice agreement.• Failure to fulfill the musicianship requirement.• Failure to maintain good attendance. 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. Extenuating circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

5. Withdrawal PolicyOnce accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer Term. CMC understands that extenuating circum-stances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before Summer 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 lessons that remain in the term. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.
