Portland Parks & Recreation Group Piano For Youth

Group 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.

 Consistent Schedule – During the school year, students continue at the same day & time unless repeating a term or skipping ahead.

 Recital Opportunities - Playing music is better enjoyed when shared! While not a requirement, these performances connect us with others & increase confidence.

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 9). Parents do not have to be musically trained.

Suzuki (Teacher/Parent/Student) method:

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 young students 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 - 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. Additioinal $30 fee for materials (book & student's first Suzuki CD).

Students who are 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 and/or parent to sign an agreement on how to improve the practice.

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.

Excused Absence: Student illness or other unavoidable cause with notification as defined below. Excused Absences 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.

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 mid-June. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before the school year 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 remaning lessons in the term. A student withdrawing before the start of a term, including those not continuing in Winter or Spring, must notify the office at least one week before the first scheduled lesson. Failure to do so will result in additional fees based on the time of notification. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

• This Pre-Registration covers Fall, Winter, and Spring Terms (Summer requires separate registration, avail. early April) • Parents of new Suzuki Method students are required to register for & attend a parent orientation in September.

• 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.

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 for 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, and 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 Classes (required for strings, optional for winds & brass) The CMC 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 I/II Accellerated (see page 6 for course descriptions and ages). 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 five. String Program students may take these courses at the reduced fee of $15.

• 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, Viola Choir, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see catalog) listings for prerequisites, 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.

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 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 mid-June. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before the school year 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. A student withdrawing before the start of a term, including those not continuing in Winter or Spring, must notify the office at least one week before the first scheduled lesson. Failure to do so will result in additional fees based on the time of notification. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

Portland Parks & Recreation

Registration Information Registration: Receipt of full payment is required for registration, unless otherwise arranged. Returned checks & declined bank cards void registration. If you have a non-resident pass, please let us know.

Customer Satisfaction: Your Satisfaction is Our Goal. Portland Parks & Recreation strives for 100% customer satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with a recreation program or service let us know.

Resident / Non-Residents / definitions: A resident is: • anyone who occupies a permanent residence inside the city limits of Portland, which includes the Portland Public, Parkrose, and David Douglas School Districts.

• any child living within the school boundaries of the Reynolds and Centennial School Districts who is attending a SUN Community School. Through a partnership between the City and County, a child attending a SUN Community School is eligible to register for programs at any SUN Community School location without paying a non-resident fee.

Anyone else is considered a non-resident (NR) and will be assessed a NR fee. NR fees do not apply to drop-in activities.

Non-residents who wish to register for PP&R activities may choose one of these options: • pay the additional 30% non-resident fee.

• purchase resident status as either an individual or family for a period of three, six, nine, or twelve months from the date of purchase. Inquire about this option at time of registration.

Non-resident passes are not refundable.

Non-resident Pass prices:

3 Month Pass: Individual - $25 Family - $50

6 Month Pass: Individual - $45 Family - $90

9 Month Pass: Individual - $65 Family - $130

One Year Pass: Individual - $85 Family - $170 A family denotes a couple (married or domestic) or a single parent and their legal dependants living in the same residence.

Notice Of Non-Discrimination: PP&R programs and services reflect the cultural diversity of our community.

We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, color, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age or ability.

NOTE: As part of the FY 2013-14 budget, PP&R will be updating its non-resident fee policy to better ensure that non-residents are paying fees equivalent to what City of Portland residents pay through fees & taxes. The specific changes are not known at the time of this printing. Any changes to non-resident fees are expected to become effective for customers that register after August 31, 2013.

Scholarships: City of Portland residents, & in some cases, non-residents, regardless of age, who require financial assistance may apply for partial scholarships. Contact individual centers for information.

Withdrawal & Refunds: Please notify us at least three business (Monday-Friday) days, unless otherwise specified, before the start of your program so that we can refund or credit your account for the registration fee. Pre-paid materials & admission tickets cannot be refunded. Participants needing to withdraw after the program has begun are offered a prorated credit or refund based upon when the request is made (CMC requires 24 hours notice for group classes, one week for private lessons).

Class Enrollment: Our classes must meet minimum & maximum enrollment standards. Classes may fill quickly or classes may be canceled due to low enrollment.
