Registration: December 5, 2011- January 13, 2012
Lessons begin the week of January 23, 2012
The mission of CCA’s School of the Arts is to provide CCA students, parents, and members of the community with instruction in the arts in a small group or one on one environment. Lessons and classes will be held on the campus of CCA and will be given after school, in the evening, or in some cases during the school day.
SOTA Policies and Procedures: Parents are required to read the SOTA Policy and Procedures for participation in the program. Signing the contract constitutes agreement with the SOTA Policies.
Registration Fee: $30 non-refundable fee per family per year. If you continue lessons in the spring, you do not need to pay another fee. Lessons will be assigned on a first come first served basis. Your child will not be put on the lesson schedule without the signed contract, registration fee and full tuition payment for the fall semester.
Lesson Payment: Lessons will be paid for by the semester and the pricing for each is listed below. Make checks payable to CCA, and write SOTA in the memo, and turn in the required paperwork and check to Cindy Drewski in the Westminster building.
Scheduling Lessons: Once the required paperwork and fees are received, Mrs. Owens will assign a teacher. She will contact you sometime between January 18-20 and give you the teacher assignment and the lesson day/time. Lesson times will vary depending on the teacher and the student’s schedules. Lessons are scheduled after school and a limited number of lessons during the day for upper school students with the classroom teacher’s and parent’s approval.
Instruments: It is the parents’ responsibility to provide an instrument for the student. Instruments can be rented or purchased. Please see the Instrument rental page for more information.
