Home School Band
For the very first time, we are offering a band experience for home-schooled students in North Fulton County. Depending on the enrollment, we plan to offer bieginning (first time band students nine (9) years old and up), intermediate (students with one full year band experience) and advanced (students with two or more years of band experience) classes beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Fridays. Instructors have experence teaching all levels of band from the very beginning until the high school senior preparing for college. Talk to your friends in the home school community and spread the word. More students make a for a great band experience! Classes are at the The Music Hutch Johns Creek location.
The beginner class begins at 11:00 a.m. and lasts for 55 minutes.
What makes Vivace unique is the use of a home practice program that includes the use of Smart Music computer practice software at a once per year subscription cost or $40. The director monitors your child’s progress outside of the fifty five minute lesson each week using Smart Music. This is accomplished by setting up a practice plan and “listening” to selected assignments that your child performs into the computer at home, providing written feedback on his/her progress – all via the internet. For more information on how this works go to www.smartmusic.com
The costs are broken down as follows:
- Registration......................... $60.00
- Band Instruction ...................300.00
- Building and Insurance .................75.00
- TOTAL................................$435.00
- Smart Music Subscription.......40.00 (paid separately at www.smartmusic.com)
The registraton fee is non refundable upon your child's acceptance into the program. All fees are for the entire school year and are due the first class on September 24th. Families may elect to pay 50% by the first class and the remaining 50% by the first class in January. You may also elect to pay monthly at a slightly higher rate. A late charge of $10 per month will be assesed for all late payments.
