Isn’t there a simpler way?” open=”no”]The worksheet was developed in the hopes that when you are registering a student, you will collect the fees ahead of time, and you will go online armed with all necessary information.  However, if you are the type to wing it, try this:

  • Choose a Dalcroze class based on the age of student.  Use the worksheet for this one.
  • If a string student, ask if they would like to participate in the play down. (available only to Dalcroze class participants.)
  • Ask the parent if they would like to attend Mark Bjork’s parent class.
  • If there is a baby in the family, ask if they would like to enroll the baby in the SECE class.
  • Take your notes, head to the computer, and register your student.
  • Collect the correct amount of money from your student’s parents.  The amount will be on the online registration page.
  • Remember, all fees are non refundable.
[/toggle][toggle title=”Do teachers need to pay for an entire workshop day to observe one student?” open=”no”]Yes. Observation is a benefit of workshop participants.[/toggle][toggle title=”If my child is registered for a masterclass, do I have to pay the teacher’s workshop fee for that day?” open=”no”]No. You may come as a parent. You only need to pay the workshop fee if you want to attend any of the teacher training. We hope you will also come as a teacher and join the teacher training lectures.[/toggle][toggle title=”Can I as a teacher register students at different times without registering myself twice?” open=”no”]Yes.  Just enter your name and membership information, then answer “no” to all of the registration questions for anything that was previously registered for.  You will then be able to register your students.  If you have problems, contact Cindy Uhlemann, cnsuzukiviolin@gmail.com.[/toggle][toggle title=”How do students qualify to participate in the Honors Recital.” open=”no”]The Honors Recital auditions are only open to students whose teachers who are members of SAM.  Teacher’s register their students  for the audition and oversee all aspects of the video process including the upload of the video itself to the adjudicators.  Full information can be found on the web site.  For further questions, please contact Sarah Kotrba, sskotrba@comcast.net.[/toggle][toggle title=”How do students qualify to participate in a Master Class?” open=”no”]Master Classes are only open to students whose teachers are members of SAM.
