Thankyou!

Many of you have received multiple messages from your teachers as we worked out fall lesson times, and we are so grateful to each family for your flexibility! Each teacher’s lesson schedule has to factor in:

• Siblings taking lessons from multiple teachers

• Out-of-town students driving up to 1.5 hours each way

• Child care availability

• Teachers’ additional work schedules

• Studio availability with multiple instruments meeting for lessons in one location

We do our best to meet your needs, but the schedule takes many hours to put together and won't be perfect for everyone. We appreciate your willingness to be creative with scheduling to make it all work! Current Studio Schedules can be accessed throughout the year at https://www.javauxmusicschool.com/current-students (password for Current Students tab is “twinkle”)
