Top 5 Things to Know Going Into the New Semester
/Hello, Everyone - Happy New Year! The 14-week Winter Semester begins the week of January 6, 2020 and continues until April 24, 2020. Here are the top 5 things to know going into the new semester:
The Winter Semester schedule is generally a continuation of the Fall Semester schedule. If you were enrolled in the Fall Semester of 2019, the same class day and time in Winter 2020 would be a great fit for a class since it will pick up from where it ended in 2019.
It's not too late to enroll. Even if the New year snuck up on you, or even if you didn't take any lessons last semester, you can still enroll today - just let Mr. Ben or Ms. Mary know that you'd like to join a class... we'll get you caught up! A $150 deposit is due by the first class and full tuition is due by April 1, 2020.
Prorated Semester Tuition due to seasonal commitments (i.e., sports, theater productions, orchestras, etc.) is now available. Instead of 'sitting out' an entire semester due to a sports season or musical that conflicts with just a portion of the piano semester, join in the part of the semester that works best for you. Please connect with Mr. Ben to see if this is a good option for you and to work out the specifics.
Attending Help Room or a class equivalent is a great way to make up a missed class. If you have to miss a class on a given week due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances, attending another class of the same level or stopping by the Help Room is the best way to remain current in your class' curriculum. The updated Help Room schedule will be available by next week.
Learning piano is more fun in community. Whether learning cooperatively in a group class setting, signing up for piano lessons with friends, or connecting with people in the warm-up area at the studio while waiting for your lesson, learning in the company of friends is one of the best ways to keep learning a new skill fun, exciting, and effective!
As always, thank you for allowing Diaz School of Piano to serve as your piano teachers and please let me (or Mary) know if you have any questions!
