Music Library Fee:

For the past several years we have been using a Music Library to provide our students with Method books,
Duet books and Sightreading books.  We have found this to be quite useful because we are able to use a
number of different methods. Each method stresses different types of reading skills and we believe that our
students benefit from the variety of approaches.  It also greatly reduces the number of books that a student
needs to purchase. The library fee does not include solo material that the student may order through their
teacher.

Policy for Missed Lessons
