                                        Summer Registration Details

                                        Summer Enrollment Form 

                                        Students are encouraged to take lessons and practice year 'round to prevent loss of knowledge and technique learned during the year. If you will be summering somewhere else, please take your instruments! We understand the need to be flexible during the summer to allow for travel, camps, etc. You can enroll for 8, 6, 4 or even 2 lessons this summer. (Beginner Suzuki and all classes are 8 weeks only.)

                                        If you have ideas for classes and summer activities, please tell us and we will see what we can do.

                                        20% Tuition Assistance Applies to Study of Cello and Viola 

                                        There is no early registration discount for summer term. 

                                        Lesson Times– Current Students
                                        Summer private lesson times will be scheduled on a “1st come/1st served” basis. Private lessons are Monday through Thursday  2:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Saturdays, 8 am to 5 pm when the instructor is available. Returning students may secure their timeslots by registering BEFORE OPEN REGISTRATION.  Check the calendar for dates. Registration includes paying tuition in full or making 1st installment payment. You may register only when your past due balances are paid. Teachers’ schedules for the summer may differ from the spring term or your instructor may not be available for the summer. Discuss your instructor’s summer schedule with the instructor. If your instructor is not available during the summer, we encourage you to study with the instructor that your instructor recommends. Scheduling of private lessons will be done through the HPSI office only, so make sure to reserve a space on your instructors’s schedule when you register, whether in person or by phone. SCHEDULING DONE DIRECTLY WITH THE PRIVATE TEACHER IS UNOFFICIAL AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

                                        Check the calendar for open registration dates. New students may reserve their lesson time on the 1st day of open registration and times are assigned on a 1st come/1st served basis.
