SCHEDULING

---

Lessons are divided into three 'terms':

• Fall Term (September–December)
  
• Spring Term (January–May)
  
• Summer Term (June–August)
  

I ask that students commit to one term at a time. Lessons are weekly. In rare circumstances, bi-weekly lessons can be arranged.

RECITALS

There are four student recitals each year (two for Augustana Conservatory students, and two for everyone). Recitals provide valuable opportunities for students to gain experience rehearsing and performing with a group of local professional musicians in addition to solo performance experience. While not mandatory, participation is strongly encouraged.

December 6, 2020 - student recital - 3 p.m. (pre-recorded virtual recital on YouTube)
May 30, 2021 - student recital - 3 p.m. (pre-recorded virtual recital on YouTube)
