How is the summer program in 2021 different from previously?
Due to the pandemic, class size has been significantly reduced. Currently, all classes are 1-1 either in-person or online via zoom meetings.
My child is 6 year old but minimum age is 7. Can I still sign up for the class?
Students who are younger might still be able to sign up if they are mature enough to focus through a half-hour class. Teachers may require parents of younger students to be available during classes. For children of age 5-6, please consider Chinese percussion class.
There are online and in-person format. Which one will I be assigned?
During registration, you will first indicate your preference of online or in-person format. We will do our best to honor your preference. If we cannot honor your preference, we will inform you the alternate arrangement.
Can I choose or change my instrument after the summer program begins?
It is recommended that you made a selection during registration so that we can ensure an instrument is available for rental or purchase before class begins.
Changing to another instrument is allowed as long as the class is still open. However, when you change to another instrument, there will most likely be delay in getting your instruments if renting or purchasing through us.
