Summer Update

As summer lessons come to an end and piano camp begins next week, I realize we have FOUR WEEKS UNTIL PIANO LESSONS RESUME!!! I share the same split feelings with you. I am sad to see summer come to an end. But, on the other hand, I have been brainstorming like crazy to add some good ideas and energy to my studio this year. And I can't wait to implement them. More details to come soon on those.

Everyone should have heard a confirmed lesson time from me. If you have not, please contact me and let's square that away. Thank you for passing my name along. Your referrals are the biggest compliment. Keep spreading the word. I love doing what I do.

Lesson begin the week of August 19 when Esambia County starts. Please remember, my studio calendar will follow Escambia County's calendar for breaks, etc. This will be updates very soon.

This may seem like an odd request, but I would greatly appreciate if tuition payments can be mailed in at the beginning of August. Waiting until August 19-23 would make my life more chaotic than it already is =) Many send checks through their bank with online banking. You are welcome to do that as well.

The question always comes up if tuition is different on shorter months. It stays the same regardless or how many lessons or holidays fall in that month. Every student is given 35 lessons. Throughout the year you child will have months with 5 lessons, or extra workshops at my house or Dollarhides, extra Saturday prep for Sonata Contest & Federation Festival, opportunity for Saturday Nursing Home Trips. This all is covered with tuition.

I will mail home a copy of the calendar and Studio Policies for 2013-2014. Even if you have been with my for a few years, please read through this so everyone is on the same page for this upcoming school year.

Can't wait to start my 5th year of Varela Music Studio.
