Recital Reminder Dates and other information
The upcoming Winter Recitals are set as follows:
Saturday, December 11th @ 2:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, Sturgeon Bay

Sunday, December 12th @ 2:00 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Egg Harbor

You may choose either recital date to participate in if one of the dates works better for you. Please let me know which recital you plan on attending. Recital dress is semi-formal attire, no tennis shoes or jeans. All students are asked to perform in a winter recital and we will be discussing which music would be most prepared as we get closer to the recital date. Music does not need to be memorized. We will be putting together some group Christmas Carols to be performed on the recital. These will be fun and easy and an opportunity to play for fun in a larger group.

Recital arrival time: Please try to arrive for the recital at 1:15 p.m. for a quick group rehearsal. Parents can drop-off child at the earlier time and return shortly before 2:00 p.m. for the official start time. If you own a music stand, please bring it along to the recital.

Spring Music Festival: The Spring Music Festival details are in preparation. Please save Saturday, April 9th on your calendar as the tentative date for the Festival. For those who are new to the Spring Music Festival, it is a chance for students to play for a judge and receive written and verbal comments on their playing. This year's festival will include strings and piano and there will be a small entrance fee to participate. All performers will receive a participation medal for playing. More on the festival in January, 2011! The festival is optional, but highly encouraged!

Evaluations: Your child will be receiving an evaluation of his/ her progress so far sometime in December early January. This will be e-mailed to you.

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!

Thank you for registering for lessons with me this year! I am looking forward to continuing with those who have been studying with me and meeting new faces!

1. Instrument
2. Music
