Pupil News - August 2015

Dear Pupils
 
This is the first of my official music teaching newsletters. I hope you have all had a lovely summer and have come back rested and refreshed.

Changes to fees:

• Fees for this term: 30mins = £16, 45mins = £24, 60mins = £30 (as previously advised)
• From 1st January 2016 my fees will be: 30mins = £16, 45mins = £24, 60mins = £32
• This will bring my 1hr lessons into line with my other fees. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Other useful info:

• You must let me know in advance if you wish to play your instrument in public (for instance in a school concert, talent show or music festival). 
• Lessons cancelled on the day of your lesson must be paid for in full. Lessons cancelled further in advance will be carried forward. If I have to cancel a lesson I will carry it forward.
• Please remember that, if you wish to stop having private music lessons with me, you need to give at least half a term’s (or 5 lessons) notice in writing. Thank you for your understanding. 

Examination entries:

• For those taking ABRSM music examinations in November, entries are due by the end of September.
• Please discuss with me if you / your son/daughter is considering taking an exam this term. If so, they should already be able to play their three exam pieces and all their technical work. 
• If you have school entrance exams coming up, and are planning to play your instrument, please discuss this with me asap.

Music Festivals:

• I am planning to enter some pupils to play in classes at Woking Music Festival this November. Please let me know if this would interest you - entries are due at the end of September. This would be a good opportunity to play one of your exam pieces, and is a great way to get performance experience and feedback. More information can be found here: http://www.wokingmusicfestival.org.uk/
• Godalming Music Festival is in March 2016, and you can find out more here: http://www.godalmingmusicfestival.org.uk

Please do let me know if you have any questions.

If you reply to this newsletter, I will receive it at my usual email address.
 
Best wishes
