CITY BUDGET UPDATE

BY JENNIFER YOCOM, COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER, PORTLAND PARKS & RECREATION

AS YOU MAY KNOW, THE CITY OF PORTLAND IS FACING A $25 MILLION DEFICIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013-14. SEVERAL FACTORS HAVE IMPACTED THIS DEFICIT INCLUDING THE

MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT, THE RECENT DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SETTLEMENT, AND BUDGET NOTES FROM THE FY 2012-13 ADOPTED Possible BUDGET. WITH THAT, THE MAYOR 10% reduction AND CITY COUNCIL HAVE ASKED ALL FY 2013-14 CITY BUREAUS, INCLUDING PARKS, TO DEVELOP A BUDGET BASED ON

90% OF THEIR CURRENT BUDGET (THE CURRENT APPROPRIATION LEVEL). THAT MEANS PORTLAND PARKS & RECREATION (PP&R) FACES UP TO A

10% CUT IN PROGRAMS

AND SERVICES.

WHILE WE DON’T KNOW WHAT PP&R’S FINAL BUDGET WILL BE AT THIS POINT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CERTAIN PROGRAMS WILL BE CHANGED, REDUCED OR ELIMINATED, OR FEES WILL INCREASE TO HELP COVER COSTS.

FOLLOW THE PROCESS AT WWW.PORTLANDOREGON.GOV/ PARKS/BUDGET, AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT COMMUNITY BUDGET FORUMS WHERE YOU CAN TESTIFY AT WWW. PORTLANDOREGON.GOV/CBO. SHOULD BE ADOPTED IN

THE CITY’S FINAL BUDGET JUNE AND IMPLEMENTED ON

JULY 1, 2013, THE FIRST DAY OF THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. THE WORK OF PP&R—ITS PARKS, NATURAL AREAS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, AND PROGRAMMING—DAILY AND DIRECTLY AFFECT THE LIVES OF PORTLAND RESIDENTS. FOLLOW WHAT’S HAPPENING AND CONSIDER ATTENDING AND TESTIFYING AT PUBLIC MEETINGS ABOUT THE ISSUES IMPORTANT TO YOU.

Group G roup Piano for Youth at CMC Group piano instruction at CMC follows a two-year sequential curriculum. Learning in a group setting is a fun way to introduce this fabulous instrument, while getting “hands on” experience, making new friends & gaining musical skills! All classes are held in our piano lab using digital pianos that simulate acoustic grands.

Sequential Classes – Piano Foundations Year 1 & 2, followed by Piano Laboratory. Foundations classes now more clearly labeled by term (1-1 is first year, first term). Class titles change each term. Continuing students call the office for placement (823-3177).

Clear two-year course curriculum – Students are equally matched for a successful group class experience.

See the chart below for details. Piano Foundations use books in the Piano Adventures series (available at CMC).

Progress Review – With the instructor’s guidance & approval, a student may repeat a term or advance. Two weeks before the end of each term the instructor makes evaluations & forwards them to the office staff. The family will be notified only if a change is required.

Suzuki vs. Traditional: which method should I choose?

String Lesson Program students at CMC have a choice of two distinct ways of studying their instrument in weekly lessons.

The age of the student, as well as how much the parent is able to attend lessons and work with the student at home will have a large part to play in making this choice.

Traditional (Teacher/Student) Method: This is the classic one-to-one approach to learning an instrument. The string player will practice every day at home between lessons on assignments given by the instructor. Parent involvement is not required, however parents of young students are often encouraged by the instructor to assist the child in the practice room. Parent observation of lessons is usually optional (but is recommended under age 10). Parents do not have to be musically trained.

Teacher/Parent/Student method (Suzuki): This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle� between teacher, parent & student. The parent, who does not need to have prior musical training, learns with the student & serves as the role model for the young player between lessons. Parents assist the student in their practice at home each day as assigned by the instructor.

When the student is not practicing the family listens to the recordings of the songs as much as possible to create the immersion that the method requires for the best learning experience. The goal is that music becomes like another language in the home. Parents are required to attend the Suzuki Parent Orientation class in September (see below) prior to placement with their first teacher.

Parent Orientation to Suzuki age: 18 & up Build harmonious connections at home! Discover the important dynamics of student, teacher & parent/ guardian in this method. Observe demonstrations, get insightful information & find the confidence needed to help beginning violin viola & cello students succeed. This class is required for placement with a Suzuki instructor.

Offered in September See Fall 2013 Catalog

Instrument Rentals

Approximate Sizing for Reference Only

CMC has a limited number of violins, violas, cellos & guitars available for enrolled students to rent. Rental cost is $45 per term, with first term payment due at time of rental. Scholarships are available.

Rental process 1. Call the CMC office (503-823-3177) to get on a waitlist for an instrument.

2. Once payment arrangements are made for private lessons/group class, set a fitting appointment with the instrument rental coordinator.

3. Meet with the rental coordinator. You’ll complete a rental agreement, make payment & receive your instrument (if your size is available). If none is available for your size, you may choose to remain on the waiting list.

Preference is given to scholarship students, then youth, & then adults.

Portland Parks & Recreation Private Lesson Program Policy Information - String, Winds, Brass & Voice CMC’s Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the highest quality music education to as many dedicated students as possible, regardless of the ability to pay. In a continuing effort to achieve these goals, students & parents should seriously consider the following requirements before committing to take lessons at CMC.

Registration Process - See page 15 Practice Requirements It is important that students take lessons seriously, practice every day (at least as long as their lesson length), complete any homework assigned by instructors & progress in-step with their ability to learn.

Students not progressing in-step with their ability to learn will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits.

If no progress is made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign an agreement on how to improve practice.

Musicianship Requirement - Strings only *Applies to School Year Lessons* The CMC String Program for Youth is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster wellrounded musicians. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements for students taking lessons September - June: ¾ Beginning string students age 5 and up are required to concurrently enroll in, attend regularly & do satisfactory work in a Music Skills class (see School Year catalog for information, or inquire at the office). Four year-olds are exempt from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning & are required to take Skills at age 5. ¾ Continuing string students are required to concurrently enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Skills or other ensemble class (see School Year catalog for more information). Students who are receiving training of like quality elsewhere may apply for an exemption from an additional CMC activity.

Woodwind & brass students are currently exempt from the musicianship requirement, but are welcome to take any enrichment class at the reduced fee.

Attendance Requirements & Policies Because regular attendance is important, lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable instances. As a courtesy to everyone an absence affects, the CMC office should be notified as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are classified as either Excused or Unexcused. ¾ Excused Absence: Student illness or other unavoidable cause with notification as defined below. Excused absences not made up will be credited.

Student Illness - CMC is notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be excused.

Other Unavoidable Causes - CMC is notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time. This allows time to notify the teacher and make necessary schedule changes. ¾ Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or make-ups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.

NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused Absences a term, three Excused Absences in a row, or four Excused Absences during a term.

Because space is limited, a student may be dropped from the program if any of the above requirements are not met.

Withdrawal Policy Once accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer term. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise & occasionally a student must withdraw before summer ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows: Notify the CMC office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the remaining lessons in the term. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

SUMMER 2013 – FOR PRIVATE LESSONS – YOUTH ONLY

How to Register Complete this registration form and return it to CMC after reading Program Requirements below.

•This Pre-Registration is for Summer only. All students must pre-register again (starts August 12) for the school year.

•Instructors may require purchase of additional materials not included in listed registration fee.

•Purchase of a Non-Resident Pass required for Out-of-District participants; contact the office for details.

Wait patiently for a call from the office confirming a lesson time. This occurs about 2 weeks before lessons begin (no earlier than June 10). If we cannot place a student, we will maintain a waitlist through early August.

Pay tuition at the time of confirmation. Once payment is received, the student is officially registered.

Private Lesson Program for Youth – Program Requirements CMC's Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the highest-quality music education to as many dedicated students as possible, regardless of ability to pay. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements, which parents & students should carefully consider before committing to lessons at CMC. 1. Practice Requirements Students should practice daily for at least as much time as their lesson length, complete any homework assigned by instructors, & progress in keeping with their ability to learn.

NOTE: Students who fail to progress to the best of their ability will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If progress is still not made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign and fulfill a practice-improvement agreement.

2. Musicianship Requirements Only for String students during School Year - Waived Summer Term The CMC String program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians.

• Beginning string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Basic Skills, On My Way With Basic Skills, Skills I, or Theory & Practice. Four-year-olds are excused from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning Music or Basic Skills, & are required to take Skills at age 5. String Program students may take these courses at a reduced fee ($15 in 2012-13).

• Continuing string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Voice, Piano, Guitar, Suzuki Group Class, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see school year catalog or ask the office about pre-requisites, special requirements, schedules & pricing).

• The musicianship requirement may be satisfied if the student is receiving comparable training elsewhere. This must be documented with an Exemption Form. See the CMC office for details.

• Students who begin in Summer become subject to the musicianship requirement upon enrolling for Fall Term.

3. Attendance Requirements & Policies Regular attendance is important. Lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable circumstances. When a student must be absent, notify the CMC office as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are either excused or unexcused, as defined below: Excused Absence: • Student Illness – CMC must be notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be Excused. Subsequent illnesses will be Unexcused.

• Other Unavoidable Causes – CMC must be notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time. This allows time to notify the teacher & make schedule adjustments. Excused Absences will be credited.

Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or makeups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.

4. Causes for Dropping a Student Space in the Private Lesson Program is limited. At CMC’s discretion, students may be dropped for any of the following: • Failure to progress to the best of their ability.

• Failure to fulfill the terms of a signed practice agreement.

• Failure to fulfill the musicianship requirement.

• Failure to maintain good attendance.

NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused absences a term, three Excused absences in a row, or four Excused absences during a term. Extenuating circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

5. Withdrawal Policy Once accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer Term. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before Summer ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows: • Notify the CMC office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the lessons that remain in the term. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

Community Music Center Need-Based Scholarship Application Portland Parks & Recreation recognizes that some of the residents of the City of Portland require lower tuition to attend certain recreational activities. The Community Music Center has its own scholarship process because the tuition subsidy is provided by a non-profit fundraising organization through generous donations.

How to apply 1. Submit a scholarship form with your registration. A spot will be reserved for you during the scholarship application process. For the Private Lesson Program (strings, voice, woodwind/brass), submit the scholarship form with your preregistration. One form per student, please. Incomplete forms will be returned un-processed.

2. Submit documentation once per year with the scholarship form to substantiate your household income level. The information requested is confidential and is necessary to help determine the degree of need for each applicant. Scholarships will be denied without documentation once per year.

3. When scholarship is approved, pay tuition balance, or request scheduled payments.

CMC may limit scholarships for multiple classes. Scholarship amounts may be adjusted through work-study, in which case recipients complete a volunteer application form. Scholarships may be denied for clients not meeting their payment commitment, program requirements, and/or maintaining at least 80% attendance.
