Portland Parks & Recreation Beginning Piano for Youth

Group Piano for Youth at CMC Group piano classes at CMC follow a two-year sequential course curriculum. Learning in a group setting is a fun way to introduce this fabulous instrument, while getting “hands on” experience, making new friends & gaining musical skills! All classes are held in CMC’s piano lab - students use digital pianos that simulate acoustic grands  Sequential Classes – Piano Foundations Term I,

II, III, & IV, then Piano Performer for two to four terms. Then Piano Laboratory is available.  Clear two-year course curriculum – Students are

more equally matched for a successful group class experience. See the chart below for more details. Piano Foundations and Performer classes use books in the Piano Town series (available at CMC).  Progress Review – With the instructor’s guidance

& approval, a student may repeat a term or advance. Two weeks before the end of each term the instructor makes evaluations & forwards those to the office staff. The family will be notified only if a change is required.  Consistent Schedule – During the school year,

in most cases students continue at the same day & time unless repeating a term or skipping ahead. Note: Students taking My First Piano Class in Summer should register for Piano Foundations Level 1 in Fall Term. Students taking Piano Foundations Level 1 (accelerated - ages 7-9) in Summer should check with the office regarding Fall Term placement. Class Title

Suzuki vs. Traditional: which method should I choose? String Lesson Program students at CMC have a choice of two distinct ways of studying their instrument in weekly lessons. The age of the student, as well as how much the parent is able to attend lessons and work with the student at home will have a large part to play in making this choice.

Traditional (Teacher/Student) Method:

This is the classic one-to-one approach to learning an instrument. The string player will practice every day at home between lessons on assignments given by the instructor. Parent involvement is not required, however parents of young students are often encouraged by the instructor to assist the child in the practice room. Parent observation of lessons is usually optional (but is recommended under age 9). Parents do not have to be musically trained.

Teacher/Parent/Student method (Suzuki):

This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle� between teacher, parent & student. The parent, who does not need to have prior musical training, learns with the student & serves as the role model for the young player between lessons. Parents assist the young students in their practice at home each day as assigned by the instructor. When the student is not practicing the family listens to the recordings of the songs as much as possible to create the immersion that the method requires for the best learning experience. The goal is that music becomes like another language in the home. Parents are required to attend the Suzuki Parent Orientation class in September (see below) prior to placement with their first teacher.

Parent Orientation to Suzuki age: 18 & up Build harmonious connections at home! Discover the important dynamics of student, teacher & parent/ guardian in this method. Observe demonstrations, get insightful information & find the confidence needed to help beginning violin viola & cello students succeed. This class is required for placement with a Suzuki instructor. Offered in September See Fall 2012 Catalog

Portland Parks & Recreation Private Lesson Program Policy Information - String, Winds, Brass & Voice CMC’s Private Lesson Program for Youth

strives to provide the highest quality music education to as many dedicated students as possible, regardless of the ability to pay. In a continuing effort to achieve these goals, students & parents should seriously consider the following requirements before committing to take lessons at CMC.

Registration Process - See page 15 Practice Requirements It is important that students take lessons seriously, practice every day (at least as long as their lesson length), complete any homework assigned by instructors & progress in-step with their ability to learn. Students who are not progressing in-step with their ability to learn will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If no progress is made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign an agreement on how to improve practice.

Musicianship Requirements - Strings only *Applies to School Year Lessons* The CMC String Program for Youth is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster wellrounded musicians. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements for students taking lessons September - June:  Beginning string students age 5 and up are required to concurrently enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in a Music Skills class (see School Year catalog for information, or inquire at the office). Four year-olds

are exempt from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning & are required to take Skills at age 5.

 Continuing string students are required to concurrently enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Skills or other ensemble class (see School Year catalog for more information). Students who are receiving training of like quality elsewhere may apply for an exemption from an additional CMC activity.

Woodwind & brass students are currently exempt from the musicianship requirement, but are welcome to take any enrichment class at the reduced fee.

Attendance Requirements & Policies Because regular attendance is important, lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable instances. As a courtesy to everyone an absence affects, the CMC office should be notified as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are classified as either Excused or Unexcused.  Excused Absence: Student illness or other unavoidable cause with notification as defined below. Excused absences not made up will be credited. Student Illness - CMC is notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be excused. Other Unavoidable Causes - CMC is notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time. This allows time to notify the teacher and make necessary schedule changes.  Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or make-ups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.

NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused Absences a term, three Excused Absences in a row, or four Excused Absences during a term. Because space is limited, a student may be dropped from the program if any of the above requirements are not met.

Withdrawal Policy Once accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer term. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before summer ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows: Notify the CMC office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the remaining lessons in the term. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

“CMC is wonderful! My 3 daughters have collectively taken choir, piano, Suzuki violin and general music classes at CMC for 6 years. The prices are reasonable and I like the staff and instructors. Since our school doesn’t offer music instruction as part of a regular curriculum, this has been their main opportunity to learn about music.” - Google Places customer review

SUMMER 2012 – FOR PRIVATE LESSONS – YOUTH ONLY (CONTINUED)

1. 2. 3.

How to Register Complete this registration form and return it to CMC after reading Program Requirements below. •This Pre-Registration is for Summer only. All students must pre-register again (in early August) for the school year. •Parents of new Suzuki Method students (strings only) must register for & attend a parent orientation in September. •Instructors may require purchase of additional materials not included in listed registration fee. •Purchase of a Non-Resident Pass required for Out-of-District participants; contact the office for details. Wait patiently for a call from the office confirming a lesson time. This occurs about 2 weeks before lessons begin (no earlier than June 13). If we cannot place a student, we will maintain a waitlist through early August. Pay tuition at the time of confirmation. Once payment is received, the student is officially registered.

Private Lesson Program for Youth – Program Requirements CMC's Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the highest-quality music education to as many dedicated students as possible, regardless of ability to pay. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements, which parents & students should carefully consider before committing to lessons at CMC. 1. Practice Requirements Students should practice daily for at least as much time as their lesson length, complete any homework assigned by instructors, & progress in keeping with their ability to learn. NOTE: Students who fail to progress to the best of their ability will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If progress is still not made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign and fulfill a practice-improvement agreement. 2. Musicianship Requirements Only for String students during School Year - Waived Summer Term The CMC String program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians. • Beginning string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Basic Skills, On My Way With Basic Skills, Skills I, or Theory & Practice. Four-year-olds are excused from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning Music or Basic Skills, & are required to take Skills at age 5. String Program students may take these courses at a reduced fee ($15 in 2011-12). • Continuing string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Voice, Piano, Guitar, Rhythm Skills, Suzuki Group Class, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see school year catalog or ask the office about pre-requisites, special requirements, schedules & pricing). • The musicianship requirement may be satisfied if the student is receiving comparable training elsewhere. This must be documented with an Exemption Form. See the CMC office for details. • Students who begin in Summer become subject to the musicianship requirement upon enrolling for Fall Term. 3. Attendance Requirements & Policies Regular attendance is important. Lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable circumstances. When a student must be absent, notify the CMC office as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are either excused or unexcused, as defined below: Excused Absence: • Student Illness – CMC must be notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time. Only one illness per term may be Excused. Subsequent illnesses will be Unexcused. • Other Unavoidable Causes – CMC must be notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time. This allows time to notify the teacher & make schedule adjustments. Excused Absences will be credited. Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or makeups will be offered for Unexcused Absences. 4. Causes for Dropping a Student Space in the Private Lesson Program is limited. At CMC’s discretion, students may be dropped for any of the following: • Failure to progress to the best of their ability. • Failure to fulfill the terms of a signed practice agreement. • Failure to fulfill the musicianship requirement. • Failure to maintain good attendance. NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused absences a term, three Excused absences in a row, or four Excused absences during a term. Extenuating circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis. 5. Withdrawal Policy Once accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer Term. CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before Summer ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows: • Notify the CMC office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the lessons that remain in the term. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.


Community Music Center Need-Based Scholarship Application Portland Parks & Recreation recognizes that some of the residents of the City of Portland require lower tuition to attend certain recreational activities. The Community Music Center has its own scholarship process because the tuition subsidy is provided by a non-profit fundraising organization through generous donations. How to apply 1. Submit a scholarship form with your registration. A spot will be reserved for you during the scholarship application process. For the Private Lesson Program (strings, voice, woodwind/brass), submit the scholarship form with your preregistration. One form per student, please. Incomplete forms will be returned un-processed. 2. Submit documentation once per year with the scholarship form to substantiate your income level. The information requested is confidential and is necessary to help determine the degree of need for each applicant. Scholarships will be denied without documentation once per year. 3. When scholarship is approved, pay tuition balance, or request scheduled payments. CMC may limit scholarships for multiple classes. Scholarship amounts may be adjusted through work-study, in which case recipients complete a volunteer application form. Scholarships may be denied for clients not meeting their payment commitment, program requirements, and/or maintaining at least 80% attendance.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so they may receive an equal opportunity to fully participate in programs citywide. How it Works First choose the activity you’d like to do & the PP&R site at which you would like to enroll. Next, register for the class. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity. Once registered, contact Inclusion Services at (503) 823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services, you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member at that number. At the end of the call it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support at the age-appropriate class. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs. A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids & services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed & can be flexible & creative, ensuring the participant engages as independently as possible. If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (MondayFriday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
