Get Ready for a New School Year

INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE: In preparation for our lessons beginning in September, please check your instrument carefully to see if you might need to replace strings or have your bow re-haired. The summer is a great time to do routine maintenance on your instrument in case it needs to be in the shop for more than a few days you will have time to be without your instrument.

MUSIC NEEDS: Please be sure that any music you need for the fall is ordered and in your hands before our first lesson. Starting a new school year and a new music book is so much fun, so be sure you have what you need to begin and get off to a great start! Check out the links to music stores on this blog to purchase your needed music.

See you soon!

About “Tutti Strings”:
“Tutti Strings” is the music studio of professional musician and certified music educator Mrs. Lori Meyer. Music Lessons are offered bi-weekly on violin, viola, cello, and string bass to Door County Residents, ages 7-adult. Students who study a stringed instrument through “Tutti Strings” (Tutti is an Italian Word meaning Everyone) will learn to play the violin, viola, cello or string bass at a high level.

Performance Opportunities:
All students are given the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned by playing in recitals.
Bi-Weekly Lessons are offered in Sturgeon Bay.
Lesson Prices:
30-minute lessons $15.00
45-minute lessons $22.50
60-minute lessons $30.00

Paying for lessons:
Payment for monthly lessons is due at the first lesson of each month. Most months will have 2 essons, but you will receive a list of scheduled lessons at the end of every month for the upcoming month.

Practicing/Arrival for Lessons:
Students should plan on practicing the length of their lesson at least 5 days a week. Therefore if you are taking a 30-minute lesson, please practice 30-minutes a day. Please arrive 5-minutes early for lessons so we can start on time and parents should pick up their child immediately following the completion of the lesson unless otherwise arranged.

Cancellation Policies:
A family can receive credit for a missed lesson due to student illness or a family emergency (sports and after school activities are not emergencies), only if I am contacted prior to the lesson being missed. Please call ASAP for emergency cancellations at (920) 421-0753. You can e-mail me at least 24 hours prior to a missed lesson at: tuttistringsstudio@att.net. Poor winter weather is an excused absence, and I will contact you if lessons will need to be cancelled due to my inability to travel.

Lesson times belong to the student scheduled. Lessons are given on a bi-weekly basis. Other missed lessons are unexcused and will not be refunded or credited. Please attend lessons even if your child has not sufficiently practiced. There is always something to learn at lessons!
