Grades & Examinations
At the end of each semester, each student receives a report card
that includes grades and teachers' comments on all subjects.
At the end of the academic year, a student must take a jury,
or final examination, on major and/or secondary instrument performance.
Attendance
Regular and punctual attendance is expected at all individual
lessons, classes, performance classes, mandatory rehearsals,
and concerts. Students are asked to avoid any conflicts to their
assigned schedule. Teachers are not required to make up lessons
to accommodate personal or family travel of students. Unexcused
absences affect a student's final grade.
Parent Attendance
In the case of very young students, parents can be of great help
for their child's progress. They are normally asked to attend
lessons. In the case of older students (age 8 and up), they need
to develop a rapport with the teacher, so parents are not
advised to attend their children's lessons unless requested by
teacher. They are encouraged come at the end of lesson to consult
with teacher regarding the lesson. Parents are always welcome
to performance classes and concerts.
Refund Policy
If it is necessary for a student to withdraw from the Amati Conservatory
after tuition has been paid, the school retains 20 percent of
the tuition charges for each week or part thereof, up until the
fourth week of classes. After the fourth week of classes,
there are no refunds. Student must notify the school in writing
of their intention to withdraw.
Make-up lessons
Lessons missed due to illness are made up provided
24 hours notice is given to the teacher.
No more than one lesson a quarter will be made up
for reasons of absence other than illness.
Lesson missed due to a teacher's absence will be made
up by the teacher.
All make-up lessons must be taken care of before the end of the
semester. No make-up lesson will be carried over to the next
semester.
Accompanist Policy
School provides a professional piano accompanist for string players
in lessons, performance classes, dress rehearsals and concerts.
Piano accompaniment is available in lessons regularly (see current
academic calendar for specific dates of lessons with piano).
Students are asked to prepare well in order to get the most out
of these opportunities to play with piano accompaniment. If for
any reason a student misses a lesson that was to be with
piano accompaniment, the accompaniment will not be rescheduled.
Extra rehearsals can be arranged upon accompanist's availability
at an extra cost. (see separate sheet for current charges).
