March News

Hello everyone – it is so nice to be back to work at NSMA and to see all of you after being on my maternity leave! And what a beautiful week we’ve had this week, maybe spring will come early this year…one can hope, anyway! Here are a few updates from NSMA:

Spring Break: Public school Spring Break is March 15-23. NSMA will be open and holding lessons Sat. March 15, Tue. March 18 and Sat. March 22 only to accommodate a lighter than normal schedule. If you haven’t contacted me regarding Spring Break lessons yet, please do so ASAP!!

Spring Recital: Our fourth annual Spring Recital will be held Sunday May 18th at 2:00pm and 4:30pm. Please mark that on your calendar! Recital handouts will be given out in April and at that time registration for recital times will be open on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Summer Lessons: It’s not too early to be thinking about summer lessons! Summer lesson handouts and registration documents will be given out in April as well, so please start thinking about whether you/your student would be interested in summer lessons.

Reminder: We have lessons on ALL Monday holidays!

Tuition Payment Reminder: Tuition Payments are due the first lesson of every month with a grace period until the 10th of the month. If tuition is received after the 10th of the month, a $10.00 late fee will be assessed. Please drop off your payment with your student at lesson, send the payment in the mail or you can drop it off anytime in the secure white drop box attached to the mailbox. Please do not come up to the house to drop off payment if it is not during your student’s lesson time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
