Student of the Month
Our March “Student of the Month” is…

Alex P.!!!

Alex recently participated in the Monster Concert on guitar but he’s also a serious student and competitive swimmer.

Besides being an advancing guitarist, Alex set his personal best and fastest times this swimming season. He also took 2nd place in the city wide Math competition for his age group.

We’ll help him celebrate with an iTunes gift card!

Way to go, Alex! Congratulations on your hard work and accomplishments.

To be considered for Student of the Month, be sure to talk to your teacher about all your musical and extracurricular activities, share pictures and refer your fellow musicians to the academy.

RETAIL – Are you ready for your next book? We now offer very limited retail including some accessories and books. Let us know if you need strings, tuners, cables or if you are in search of a musical gift.

TEACHERZONE – Is our online platform. If you receive notifications from them, it’s not spam, it’s from us. Let us know if you have any trouble using it or logging in.

PAYMENTS/POLICIES – Payments are due at the first lesson of each month to secure your time slots for that month. 48 hours notice is required for credited missed lessons. Thank you!

IS YOUR TEACHER FULL? – We have very limited spaces for guitar and violin right now. We are working hard to acquire more space and interviewing for the best new teachers for our team. Besides instrumental and voice lessons, we will be offering early childhood and group classes as things come together.

Thank you for reading “The Write Notes” – Newsletter from the St. Joseph Arts Academy!

It’s going to be a great month.

Please encourage the advancing musicians in your life and in our community. We are making the world a better place through music.

Here’s to our music success!

Lesson Policy

St. Joseph Arts Academy

2022

This studio strives to provide high quality musical instruction for students and reliable employment for instructors. It has been our experience that competence and mastery of a musical instrument demands a definite, not casual, commitment of time and energy. Therefore, a regular lesson/class time is arranged for each student. Students can plan their practice schedule around their lesson time and establish effective routines for making progress. For these reasons the following policies have been adopted and updated:

Tuition – Private lessons are $102 per month. All payment is due at the FIRST LESSON of each month.

Enrollment – Paying tuition for a month’s lessons reserves a lesson appointment which can be renewed each month with payment.

Schedules –Lessons are generally scheduled for a specific time once per week with four lessons per month. Months containing a 5th week will be used for make-ups or otherwise considered a “Bonus” lesson! Each instructor maintains a unique schedule with a limited number of lesson appointments each week.

Cancellations – 48 hours notice.
Instructors make their livelihood by providing their time and services to students able to dedicate their time and sincere desire to learn a musical instrument.

Though all communication is appreciated, non-emergency cancellations, last minute cancellations and “no shows” necessitate charging the full lesson fee for the unused space reserved for the student. 48 hours notice.
In most cases, missed lessons will be made up in the 5th week. It is sometimes necessary that  the instructor will need to reschedule at the availability of both student and teacher or cancel.

Should the instructor need to cancel, credit for the pre-paid lesson payment will be applied to the following month.

The 365 Day Practice Challenge
The Goal here is to make your practice a part of your everyday routine. You will only need to practice the days you sleep or the days you eat! The amount of time is not as important as the act of just being with your instrument for a little while everyday. (Those who dedicate themselves to 20 minutes per day will have over 121 hours of practice invested.) You’ll be a confident and advancing musician!
