More details to follow.
Spring Break
It is spring break here in Charlotte, NC for the CMS school district. Yes, we are having lessons this week.
In fact, this week would be a great time to schedule a trial lesson for piano, voice, or oboe. As a teacher, I find it very important to meet and evaluate potential students. It isn’t an audition but a chance for me to see what methods might work best for the student and what a student might already know.
As always, trial lessons are free at Brunner Studios.
Give Brunner Studios a call to see about scheduling your trial lesson. Even if you don’t want to begin lessons until school lets out for the summer, now is a great time to meet. Students of all ages are welcome.
Contact information is: 704-787-4644 or heather@brunnerstudios.com
The Little Engine That Could
You know what is great? When you get a student who just works at a steady pace. The child isn’t doing anything spectacular or anything out of the ordinary, but is just doing the work. The next thing you know, the student has zipped through 3 levels of books in less than a year.
Keeping working!
Summer Piano, Oboe and Voice Lessons
It’s not summer yet! However, I am starting to get questions about how summer lessons will work and if Brunner Studios offers summer lessons. The answer is yes, Brunner Studios will be offering lessons this summer.
Here’s how it works. I will pick 2 or 3 days to begin with to offer lessons. Those days will need to be semi-full before I expand the schedule. Lessons can be scheduled starting at 10:00 in the morning. In fact, I highly encourage students to take an early lesson if possible.
How many lessons do I need to take or what if I go out of town? If the student is in town, I expect them to be at lessons. If you are out of town, there isn’t much that can be done about that. Tuition will be figured on a monthly basis and will be due at the first lesson of the month. No refunds will be given for scheduled lessons that are missed.
If you need to change a lesson to a different day, during the same week, on which lessons are offered, then if there is time this accommodation will be made. If a student misses a lesson without contacting me first, the lesson will not be made up at all.
Summer scheduling will begin May 1 and summer lessons will begin June 11. Students who take at least 8 lessons will be given first choice of fall lesson times. After that scheduling will be open to all students on an even basis.
Summer is a great time to try out lessons before committing to a regular schedule in the fall. Establish good practice habits and be ready to continue them when school starts back in the fall.
Wednesday Is Now a Wait List Day
If you have been looking for lessons at Brunner Studios, there is good and bad news. The good news is that Tuesdays are now open for lessons. The bad new is that Wednesdays are now a wait list day. Wednesday is officially full. If you are looking for a Wednesday time slot as a new student or to change your regularly scheduled time, please contact me.
It is so exciting to see the studio growing and adding students of all ages!
NCMTA Festival Charlotte
Congrats to all the students who participated yesterday in the NCMTA Festival for the Charlotte area.
A big thank you to all the teachers who ‘volunteered’ and helped the day run smoothly. Is it really volunteering if participation is mandatory?
See everyone again next year.
Welcome to New Students
I just want to give a big welcome to all my new students. Brunner Studios is growing at a very steady pace. I am excited that we added piano and oboe students to the roster this week. Wednesday lesson times are now down to 1 available slot.
Keep up the good work parents and students. Don’t forget that you get a 10% referral discount for any new students that give your name.
And here is a funny picture. This is so true. Well, except for that time in college when I was so sleep deprived that I tried to play with my music upside down. It still looked like the top example in that case.
