Group piano classes at CMC follow a two-year sequential course curriculum. Learning in a group
setting is a fun way to introduce this fabulous instrument, while getting “hands on” experience,
making new friends & gaining musical skills!All classes are held in CMC’s piano lab - students use digital pianos that simulate acoustic grands
Sequential Classes – Piano Foundations Term I, II, III, & IV, then Piano Performer for two to four terms . Then Piano Laboratory is available .
Clear two-year course curriculum – Students are more equally matched for a successful group class experience . See the chart below for more details . Piano Foundations and Performer classes use books in the Piano Town series (available at CMC) .
Progress Review – With the instructor’s guidance & approval, a student may repeat a term or ad-vance . Two weeks before the end of each term the instructor makes evaluations & forwards those to the office staff . The family will be notified only if a change is required .
Consistent Schedule – During the school year, in most cases students continue at the same day & time unless repeating a term or skipping ahead .

Preference is given to scholarship students, then youth, & then adults.
InstrumentRentals
String Lesson Program students at CMC have a choice of two distinct ways of studying their instrument in weekly lessons . The age of the student, as well as how much the parent is able to attend lessons and work with the student at home will have a large part to play in making this choice .
Traditional (Teacher/Student) Method: This is the classic one-to-one approach to learning an instru-ment . The string player will practice every day at home be-tween lessons on assignments given by the instructor . Parent involvement is not required, however parents of young stu-dents are often encouraged by the instructor to assist the child in the practice room . Parent observation of lessons is usually optional (but is recommended under age 9) . Parents do not have to be musically trained .
Teacher/Parent/Student method (Suzuki):This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle” between teacher, parent & student . The parent, who does not need to have prior musical training, learns with the student & serves as the role model for the young player between lessons . Parents assist the young stu-dents in their practice at home each day as assigned by the in-structor . When the student is not practicing the family listens to the recordings of the songs as much as possible to create the immersion that the method requires for the best learning experience . The goal is that music becomes like another lan-guage in the home . Parents are required to attend the Suzuki Parent Orientation class in September (see below) prior to placement with their first teacher .
Parent Orientation to Suzuki age: 18 & upBuild harmonious connections at home! Discover the important dynamics of student, teacher & parent/guardian in this method . Observe demonstrations, get insightful information & find the confidence needed to help beginning violin viola & cello students succeed . This class is required for placement with a Suzuki instructor .Offered in September See Fall 2012 Catalog

Practice Requirements
It is important that students take lessons seriously, practice every day (at least as long as their lesson length), complete any homework assigned by instructors & progress in-step with their ability to learn .
Students who are not progressing in-step with their ability to learn will receive instruction on how to improve prac-tice habits . If no progress is made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign an agreement on how to improve practice .
Musicianship Requirements - Strings only *Applies to School Year Lessons*
The CMC String Program for Youth is more than just les-sons . It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians . To this end, CMC makes the following requirements for students taking lessons September - June:
Beginning string students age 5 and up are required to concurrently enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfac-tory work in a Music Skills class (see School Year catalog for information, or inquire at the office) . Four year-olds are exempt from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning & are required to take Skills at age 5 .
Continuing string students are required to concur-rently enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Skills or other ensemble class (see School Year catalog for more information) . Students who are receiving training of like quality elsewhere may apply for an exemption from an additional CMC activity .Woodwind & brass students are currently exempt from the musicianship requirement, but are welcome to take any enrichment class at the reduced fee .
CMC’s Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the high-est quality music education to as many dedicated stu-dents as possible, regardless of the ability to pay . In a continuing effort to achieve these goals, students & par-ents should seriously con-sider the following require-ments before committing to take lessons at CMC .
Attendance Requirements & PoliciesBecause regular attendance is important, lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable instances . As a courtesy to everyone an absence affects, the CMC office should be notified as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments . Absences are classified as either Excused or Unexcused .
Excused Absence: Student illness or other unavoid-able cause with notification as defined below . Excused absences not made up will be credited .
Student Illness - CMC is notified at least one hour before the scheduled lesson time . Only one illness per term may be excused .Other Unavoidable Causes - CMC is notified at least one week before the scheduled lesson time . This allows time to notify the teacher and make necessary schedule changes .
Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above . No credits or make-ups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused Absences a term, three Excused Absences in a row, or four Excused Absences during a term .
Because space is limited, a student may be dropped from the program if any of the above requirements
are not met.
Withdrawal PolicyOnce accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer term . CMC understands that extenuating circumstances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before summer ends . Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows:Notify the CMC office one full week before the next lesson & a refund of paid fees will be issued for the remaining lessons in the term . NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy .

“CMC is wonderful! My 3 daughters have collectively taken choir, piano, Suzuki violin and gen-eral music classes at CMC for 6 years. The prices are reasonable and I like the staff and instructors. Since our school doesn’t offer music instruction as part of a regular curriculum, this has been their main oppor-
tunity to learn about music.” - Google Places customer review

Private Lesson Program for Youth – Program RequirementsCMC's Private Lesson Program for Youth strives to provide the highest-quality music education to as many dedicated students as possible, regardless of ability to pay. To this end, CMC makes the following requirements, which parents & students should carefully consider before committing to lessons at CMC.
1. Practice RequirementsStudents should practice daily for at least as much time as their lesson length, complete any homework assigned by instructors, & progress in keeping with their ability to learn. NOTE: Students who fail to progress to the best of their ability will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If progress is still not made, CMC will require the student & parent to sign and fulfill a practice-improvement agreement.
2. Musicianship Requirements Only for String students during School Year - Waived Summer Term
The CMC String program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians.• Beginning string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in Basic Skills, On My Way With Basic Skills, Skills I, or Theory & Practice. Four-year-olds are excused from this requirement, but are encouraged to take Launch Pad to Learning Music or Basic Skills, & are required to take Skills at age 5. String Program students may take these courses at a reduced fee ($15 in 2011-12).• Continuing string students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropri-ate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Voice, Piano, Guitar, Rhythm Skills, Suzuki Group Class, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see school year catalog or ask the office about pre-requisites, special requirements, schedules & pricing).• Themusicianshiprequirementmaybesatisfiedifthestudentisreceivingcomparabletrainingelsewhere.Thismustbedocumented with an Exemption Form. See the CMC office for details.• StudentswhobegininSummerbecomesubjecttothemusicianshiprequirementuponenrollingforFallTerm.
3. Attendance Requirements & PoliciesRegular attendance is important. Lessons & classes should not be missed except in unavoidable circumstances. When a student must be absent, notify the CMC office as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are either excused or unexcused, as defined below:Excused Absence: • StudentIllness–CMCmustbenotifiedatleastonehourbeforethescheduledlessontime.Onlyoneillnesspertermmay be Excused. Subsequent illnesses will be Unexcused.• OtherUnavoidableCauses–CMCmustbenotifiedatleastoneweekbeforethescheduledlessontime.Thisallowstime to notify the teacher & make schedule adjustments. Excused Absences will be credited. Unexcused Absence: Any cause not listed above. No credits or makeups will be offered for Unexcused Absences.
4. Causes for Dropping a StudentSpace in the Private Lesson Program is limited. At CMC’s discretion, students may be dropped for any of the following: • Failuretoprogresstothebestoftheirability.• Failuretofulfillthetermsofasignedpracticeagreement.• Failuretofulfillthemusicianshiprequirement.• Failuretomaintaingoodattendance.NOTE: A student may be dropped for two Unexcused absences a term, three Excused absences in a row, or four Excused absences during a term. Extenuating circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
5. Withdrawal PolicyOnce accepted, the lesson time is reserved for your child through Summer Term. CMC understands that extenuating circum-stances arise and occasionally a student must withdraw before Summer ends. Because of the effort it takes to set up teacher schedules, CMC’s withdrawal policy for private lessons is as follows:• NotifytheCMCofficeonefullweekbeforethenextlesson&arefundofpaidfeeswillbeissuedforthelessonsthatremain in the term. NOTE: This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

Community Music Center Need-Based Scholarship Application
Portland Parks & Recreation recognizes that some of the residents of the City of Portland require lower tuition to attend certain recreational activities. The Community Music Center has its own scholarship process because the tuition subsidy is provided by a non-profit fundraising organization through generous donations. How to apply1. Submit a scholarship form with your registration. A spot will be reserved for you during the scholarship application process. For the Private Lesson Program (strings, voice, woodwind/brass), submit the scholarship form with your pre-registration. One form per student, please. Incomplete forms will be returned un-processed. 2. Submit documentation once per year with the scholarship form to substantiate your income level. The information requested is confidential and is necessary to help determine the degree of need for each applicant. Scholarships will be deniedwithout documentation once per year. 3. When scholarship is approved, pay tuition balance, or request scheduled payments. CMC may limit scholarships for multiple classes. Scholarship amounts may be adjusted through work-study, in which case recipients complete a volunteer application form. Scholarships may be denied for clients not meeting their payment commitment, program requirements, and/or maintaining at least 80% attendance.
