Schedule
Instruction begins on Monday, November 6th, 2023, and runs through the entire school year, culminating in a year-end Spring Concert on Monday, May 20th, 2024.
Forty-five minute small group lessons will be held once per week after school on Mondays between 2:40 PM and 4:15 PM. Please keep that time block free on Monday. This flexibility in scheduling will allow us to create classes best suited for the enrollment.
Once the schedule is available, please have your child’s schedule clear for their assigned 45-minute time block. Students waiting to take a later lesson may opt to go home with parents and then return to school at lesson time. Or, contact the school regarding available campus supervision for students waiting to take their lesson.
