Students register each semester for lessons.  There are 15 lessons in the fall semester and 17 lessons in the spring semester.  Students are not required to commit to a summer term, but are encouraged to take at least 3 summer lessons so they do not loose momentum.  This reflects the level of dedication needed to advance toward an educational standard in the study of strings.  Parental involvement and establishing a daily practice routine are very important.    Students are reminded to consult their private teacher for guidance on obtaining an instrument.   Do not purchase an instrument without consulting your teacher first!

​

In the end, what is most important is the process and unique journey of each student. Students should schedule a trial lesson before beginning regular instruction.  Parents have the option of several tuition payment plans.  Students and parents should read over the Studio Policies before enrolling. 

Occasionally,  FSI is able to help a student find a scholarship - if you are interested in a scholarship Contact Us.
