A few questions from parents:
* If you cannot make all of the scheduled lesson times because of vacation etc...
* We need to use a school bass or cello.
* What if we need to change lesson times during the summer?
* We cannot attend the recital.
*How early will I know my child's lesson scheduled times?
*How do I pay for lessons?
*How do I redeem my child's POB Scholarship for SOF! Summer lessons?
*Do I have to have a PayPal account to pay with a credit or debit card online?
- We have other days available as make-up days, or the private instructor can make arrangements to come to your house to make up lessons.
* We need to use a school bass or cello.
- We can provide instruments over the summer. Please inform Mrs. Cranston or Mr. Barrett so they can assign you the proper size instrument for the summer. If not I will have high school instruments available.
* What if we need to change lesson times during the summer?
- No problem, lessons run on Mondays from 8:30 am - 6:00 pm so we should be able to find a time that works.
* We cannot attend the recital.
- That's fine. It is an informal recital that allows the students to show what they have accomplished this summer.
