Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works1. Choose the activity you would like to

participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or on-line at www.PortlandParks.org. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at 503-823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Important DetailsA general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative. Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for activities in the pre-school and youth category, up through age 12.

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLEWITH SPECIAL NEEDSPayment 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 first 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 (1st due at the time of registration 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 financial circumstances make it impossible to meet the agreed upon terms of the payment plan, please contact one of the directors .

String Lesson Program (Youth) - Including Program Policy Information

CMC String Lesson Program for YouthImagine having a great coach - a role model who instructs, listens, & inspires you to play in a way you didn’t think possible! Experience the heart of CMC’s program through weekly one-to-one sessions with a trained performing artist instructor . We set up every lesson to make the best match of student & teacher at a day & time that works

with schedule & budget .


Aplique en el CMC.



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 .

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 op-tional, 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 choosing non-Su-zuki lessons to register for & attend an orientation in September (see Parent Orientation in the Fall 2016 catalog, or call the CMC office) .

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 stu-dents in their practice at home each day as assigned by the instructor . When the student is not practic-ing, 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 language in the home . Parents are required to attend an orien-tation class in September (see Parent Orientation in the Fall 2016 catalog, or call the CMC office) prior to placement with their first teacher . When fill-ing out the Pre-registration form on page 19, please list availability where the child and practicing parent can attend lessons together . Parents/guardians are welcome 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?

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 and 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 - Notify the office verbally before the scheduled lesson time . Only one illness per term may be excused .Other Unavoidable Causes - Notify the the office in

writing at least two weeks in advance using the missed lesson form . This allows for us to notify the teacher, make necessary schedule changes and process credits .

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 more than two Unexcused Absences a term, three absences in a row, or

four absences of any type during a term .

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

are not met.

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 office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the remaining lessons in the term . NOTE: This policy is dif-ferent than the general PP&R withdrawal policy .

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 ($20 in 2015-16).• Continuing string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Voice, Piano, Guitar, 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.
