Make oral presentations. Sometimes, you may find that you need more time than what is available in class to ask questions, or you may need to make-up assignments that you have missed due to absence. Or, we may need to have a more in depth conversation with you about your progress. All you need to do is to make an appointment and to bring in a note from your parent giving permission for you to stay and indicating how you will be getting home.

Some musicians are self-taught.
Others have the benefit of years of professional training. Once they have risen to stardom, they also deal with the feedback of their managers, record producers, critics, and, of course, their fans. No matter how much advice they receive from others, however, the musicians themselves are the ones who are ultimately responsible for their music and for their performances. As a student, you, too, hold a great deal of responsibility for your learning. We can provide the chances for you to learn through all of the activities we plan for you and the environment we help create, but you will learn to your potential only if you are willing to do so.
