There are a total of 30 lessons (Monday), 32 lessons (Tuesday), 34 lessons (Thursday), 32 lessons (Friday), and 28 lessons (Saturday), 1 for each week during the academic year, plus 2 extra lessons (one in early Dec. and the other in late May/ early June) for rehearsals, group lessons, and seasonal concerts. Please see the calendar below for specific lesson dates, as well as holidays and breaks. Since April is Music Festival month, there are two weeks when my, and my students’ involvement requires the teaching schedule to adjust, as I will be adjudicating for 5 – 10 days out of town. Please stay tuned as those days get solidified.
Regular lessons are scheduled Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from mid September through early June.
