Piano for Youth

Piano: Youth

CMC has a two-year sequential curriculum for youth piano. Learning in a group setting is a fun way to introduce this fabulous instrument, while getting “hands on” experience, making new friends & gaining skills!

All piano classes are held in our piano lab using digital pianos that simulate acoustic grands. Access to a piano or keyboard is required for practice at home between classes. Limited rentals at CMC. 10% tuition discount on piano classes for CMC strings or flute private lesson students.

Sequential Classes – Piano Foundations Year 1 & 2, followed by Piano Laboratory. Foundations classes are 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.

Portland Parks & Recreation How to Register for Youth Private Lessons Please also read the program information & policies on page 20

u Submit your application materials

aComplete the Pre-registration form on page 19, or use our new ONLINE pre-registration option (see page 7).

School Year registration covers the period from October to early June (up to 34 weeks). Summer registration is separate (info available late March).

aWhen indicating your day/time availability, keep the following information in mind: (1) The more availability listed increases the chances of being placed for a lesson. (2) For young students, indicate the time the practicing parent & student can attend together.

Beginning students start with 30 minute lessons, or 45 minute shared private lessons (Suzuki). Longer lessons are by instructor approval.

a Private lesson students concurrently attend a

musicianship class or file for an exemption from this requirement if taking similar activities outside of CMC. See table below for options/pricing.

a Parents of new students are required to register for & attend a parent orientation in September (if beginning in fall), or Dec/March (if beginning after September). Choose orientation based on Suzuki Method or non-Suzuki. See page 7 for days/times.

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.

Non-Suzuki (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/guardian involvement is not required; however, parents of young students are strongly encouraged to assist the child with at-home practice. Parent observation of lessons is usually optional, but is highly recommended under the age of 10. At the start of lessons you may wish to discuss this with your instructor. CMC requires parents of new students under the age of 10 choosing non-Suzuki lessons to register for & attend an orientation in September (see Parent Orientation on page 7, or call the CMC office).

Suzuki (Teacher/Parent/Student) method:

ď ś Wait patiently for a call from the office

confirming a lesson time. This will occur about two weeks before lessons begin for continuing students, one week before for new students. We maintain a waitlist through April for students we cannot place in lessons by the start of fall term, and for those pre-registering after the start of fall term.

w Pay tuition at the time of registration. Once

tuition is paid, the student is officially registered. Bravo!

Suzuki vs. non-Suzuki: which method should I choose?

This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle� between teacher, parent (or guardian) & 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 an orientation class in September (see Parent Orientation on page 7, or call the CMC office) prior to placement with their first teacher. When filling out the pre-registration form on page 19, please list availability where the child and practicing parent can attend lessons together.

Parents/guardians are welcome to rent instruments from CMC to practice at home with their child - see page 21 for details.

SCHOOL YEAR 2016-17 – FOR PRIVATE LESSONS – YOUTH ONLY How to Register 1.

Complete this registration form and return it to CMC after reading program requirements below.

• This Pre-registration covers October to early June (Summer requires separate registration, avail. in March).

• Parents of new Suzuki Method students & non-Suzuki students 10 & younger are required to register for & attend a

parent orientation in September (if starting in fall) or December/March (if starting later) - see catalog for details.

• 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.

2.

Wait patiently for a call from the office confirming a lesson time. This occurs about two weeks before lessons begin for continuing students and one week before for new students. If we cannot place a student, we maintain a waitlist through April.

3.

Pay tuition at the time of confirmation. Once lesson is confirmed, the student is officially registered, & tuition due.

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 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 Accelerated (see catalog for course descriptions and ages). Four-year-olds are excused from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning or Basic Skills, & are required to take Skills at age 5. Private Lesson Program students may take these courses at the reduced fee (see catalog for info).

• Continuing string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Piano, 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 or other unavoidable cause, with notification. Excused absences will be made up or credited.

• Student Illness – Notify CMC verbally before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be

excused - subsequent illnesses will be unexcused.

• Other Unavoidable Causes – Notify CMC in writing using the missed lesson form at least two weeks in advance.

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 more than two unexcused absences a term, three absences in a row, or four absences of any type 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 early 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 CMC Payment Policies Payment for CMC classes is due at the time of registration. If full payment is not possible for the student, a payment plan may be set up. The first payment of the plan is always due at the time of registration.

Payment Plans Payment plans are scheduled on credit cards, which must have an expiration date past the date of the last payment.

Those wishing cash or check payment plans, or needing a different schedule then CMC’s standard plans, must sign a written agreement.

Late Fee • A late payment fee of $20 will be charged each month for a past due balance of 2 weeks or more.

• Accounts with payments past due may also prevent students from enrolling in future activities and/or applying for scholarship tuition assistance; late accounts may also be sent to a collection agency.

• The late payment fee is not reduced by scholarship.

• If financial circumstances make it impossible to meet the agreed upon terms of the payment plan, please contact one of the directors.

Instrument Rentals CMC has a limited number of violins, violas, cellos, basses, keyboards & guitars available for enrolled students to rent. Rental cost is $50 per term, with payment due at the time of rental. Scholarships are available.

Rental process 1. Call the CMC office (503-823-3177) to get on our “instrument needed” list.

Youth private lesson students can get on the wait list by checking the appropriate box on the Pre-registration form (page 19).

2. Once payment arrangements are made for private lessons/group class, come to the fitting day on Oct. 1, or set a fitting appointment with the instrument rental coordinator before Oct. 1.

Note: no rental appointments first week of fall term (October 3 - 8) 3. Meet with the rental coordinator. You’ll complete a rental agreement, make payment & receive your instrument.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works 1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or on-line at www.

PortlandParks.org. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Important Details A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative.

Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for activities in the pre-school and youth category, up through age 12.
