Unreal Ukulele Program
What’s It All About?
The Unreal Ukulele Program provides an opportunity for students to learn a specialist instrument. They learn to read and play music with a backing CD and are introduced to a wide variety of musical styles and genres. As students develop their skills and learn to play ukulele chords, they work towards learning group pieces with their peers. Students have the option of receiving private half hour lesson or participating in a group environment for a group half hour lesson of no more than five students at a reduced price.
How Is The Unreal Ukulele Program Taught?
The format involves group tuition of up to 5 students in a weekly half-hour lesson, involving one tutor. (Private individual lessons can be arranged) Students work together and individually on their own designated ukulele provided by CVM and the tutor works with each student at their own personal level. Students will have the opportunity to work together in a group playing melodies and harmonies with each other but the success of the tuition requires students to learn the material provided to them for home practice.
How Much Does It Cost?
Group lessons for 2017 cost $13.50 per lesson and private lessons at $30 per half hour lesson (includes GST) – the Lesson book costs $19.99 (includes GST). Fees are payable on Invoice and may be made by Cash, Cheque or Money Order either by mail or directly to the Instrumental Teacher or via the Internet – information required for this appears on the invoice. All tutors are obliged to give the number of lessons your child has been invoiced for. The exception to this rule is when a child is absent from school on extended holidays or a lengthy illness. Should these exceptions apply to you, please contact the CVM office and an adjustment will be made.
Please note that CVM is not obliged to make up lessons missed due to general illness but will endeavour to do so as much as possible. Invoices MUST be paid within the 14 day period so as to maintain a secured place for your child.
