Note:
Recitals
Performance is an important part of the music learning experience.
Regular recitals provide opportunities for students to perform and to
hear other CMS students. The JSO/CMS expects each student to perform on
at least one recital each semester. Parents with questions regarding
recitals should speak directly with instructors.
The JSOCMS will provide accompanists for students participating in
recitals. Accompanist fees will be charged to the student based on the
performance level ($5.00 for beginners, $10.00 for intermediate, $15.00
for advanced). This fee includes one rehearsal and the performance.
Recital fees are payable to the JSOCMS and may be paid at the office in
advance of the performance or they will be billed and are due within one
week of the performance.
Parental Commitment
We encourage you to communicate with your JSO
instructors regularly and attend lessons when appropriate. A parent
waiting area is located on the lower level of the JSO facility. Should
you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s progress,
please do not hesitate to contact your instructor or a member of the
JSOCMS staff.
