January is flying by! We are already past the mid-point of the month and looking towards February which means lots of activities to sign up for. Please read the following announcements, especially those regarding OMTA District Achievement Auditions.
I must admit I thought I had a good schedule worked out for the Spring Semester Calendar this year. However, following the schedule this first week of private lessons has been an exercise in flexibility--Norman North had orchestra and band concerts on this past Monday and Tuesday nights; All-State in Tulsa has affected last night's (Thursday) and tonight's teaching schedule. The best laid plans...... Congratulations to all my students who participated in one or more of the above events! Bravo!! Keep reading below for the next "oops".
March/April Group date conflicts
Thank you to two eagle-eyed parents who were posting the Spring 2020 Calendar on their own calendars; they caught a major date conflict with the Group Week scheduled for March 30 through April 3. Monday, March 30 and Tuesday, March 31st are Norman Public Schools All-City Concerts. Those two events conflict with three out of four Group Lessons. Since half of the my students are involved in one or more of the orchestras/bands, I am moving/cancelling those Groups currently scheduled for 3/30 and 3/31. As soon as I figure out when to teach those said groups, I will post the new schedule on this site. Group Schedule Link.
OMTA District Achievement Auditions
There has been a major change to the entry process for OMTA District. This change was partially in response to concerns regarding the large amount of cash that had to be handled at OMTA District when entering students for State. Parents will need to enter students in both District and State at the same time. In order to help with this process, I (as chair of Moore/Norman District) have made a form for the NAMTA teachers to use, including my studio. For more information as well as the parental form, please click this link.
Spring 2020 Calendar
Please check out the calendar on this link. Please post all dates on your personal calendar--secondary students, this includes you. Note the weeks for Group lessons, for Mall Marathon, OMTA, etc. on your personal calendar (your phone perhaps?).
Tuition:
Tuition fees are based on the length of one's private lesson. Family invoices will be emailed the weekend prior to the week payment is due. Payments may be made by check or cash at the student's lesson. The Spring Semester Tuition may be paid in full at the January Group Lesson or may be divided into four equal payments due the first week of each month. For more information, click this link.
Illnesses: The flu (yes, the flu, not a cold or stomach virus) hit a student last month who missed a great deal of school as well as piano and other activities. Parents, please keep your students home if they are sick. If a student does not go to school the day of their lesson, do NOT send said student to piano lessons. Note the Is it the Cold or Flu chart at the bottom of this page.
