September News

Hello everyone and welcome to the Fall Semester here at NSMA! It is wonderful seeing familiar faces back again and it is so very nice to meet so many new students! I think this is the largest group of new students I’ve had since I opened in 2010, and I am so excited to be working with each of you!! Below are some important reminders for this month as well as looking ahead for the rest of the Fall Semester.

YES to Lessons: We DO have lessons on all Sunday/Monday holidays, including Monday 9/2 Labor Day.

Closed & No Lessons: We DO NOT have lessons Monday 9/9 through Wednesday 9/11. We DO have lessons Sunday 9/8 and Thursday 9/12 as normal.

Halloween Recital: The first recital of the 2024/25 school year is our annual Halloween Recital on Saturday 10/26. More information will be sent out on 9/1!

Tuition Payment Reminder: Tuition payments are due at 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 $25.00 late fee will be assessed. Please drop off physical payments with your student at lesson, send in the mail or you can drop it off any time in the secure white drop box attached to the studio entrance. Please do not come up to the studio to drop off payment if it is not your student’s lesson time, and please do not come up to the main house for any reason. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
