TRY A FREE LESSON
Experts say that the best way to find a GREAT music teacher is to try a free lesson. Ask questions such as how long the teacher has taught, were did she get her training and ask for the names of a few present and former students. At The FUN School of Music, we encourage families to experience a one hour lesson, in our group program, before making a commitment.
THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM
All group programs at The FUN School of Music consist of 38 weekly lessons during the school year. However, tuition is based on 35 lessons, so you will receive 3 "free" lessons during the year. Due to our very full schedules, no makeup or rearranged lessons can be given under any circumstances, including illness, school or personal events, weather, etc.
TUITION
Tuition is $600 and is based on the entire 38-week course of study and is due in full whether or not the student attends all lessons. The $600 tuition may be paid in full, 2 payments, or in ten monthly payments by post dated cheques made payable to The FUN School of Music. Tuition is nonrefundable and due in its entirety as scheduled. If for some unseen reason the lessons are not working out, after a discussion with the teacher and program director, a refund may be granted up to the end of October. Families with three or more children may apply for scholarships. Please call for details. 905-309-3886 or 1-877-FUN-5-FUN

CHRISTMAS PARTY
What would Christmas be without a Carol sing. How about a carol sing with a room full of children playing the accompaniment. This year, students from the FUN School of Music were invited to attend a giant sing-a-long celebration. Family and friends came and what a great day it was!
JOIN US FOR OUR END OF THE YEAR PICNIC
To celebrate the end of the music year, we prefer to hold an Indoor FUN Family Picnic with games and a sing-along, in place of the typical stressful recital. It is a special day, celebrating the achievements of your child and sure to be fun. We will hear music played from different age groups, but it will be very informal, so no need to worry. You are welcome to bring as many family members and friends you want. If you would like to help out with the Indoor FUN Family Picnic; music games, bringing or setting up finger foods, cleanup after the picnic, taking photographs for the studio wall, etc. please let me know. If you have any great ideas that you would like to share with me, please feel free to offer them. We would love to hear them. Sunday, June 17, 2007, 2pm - 3pm at the Grimsby Senior Centre.
