I am surprised to realise that it has been over a month since our last official communication. It has indeed been a busy period with all the exams. Now that I have some time to catch my breath, I would like to share some important information with you all:
FINAL MUSIC ASSESSMENT WEEK
The final music assessment is currently in progress this week, with students having already been evaluated on Monday. Please ensure you are prepared for your assessment this week. While these assessments are brief, they are essential for quantifying your progress and informing my teaching strategies for the upcoming year.
MATH AND SCIENCE RESULTS
Please let me know your results immediately upon receiving them. I want to support you and also need to analyze the outcomes to enhance the structure for next year. Regardless of the results, I'm proud of your efforts and dedication.
LAST WEEK OF SESSIONS (2 - 6 DECEMBER)
Next week marks the final week of lessons. Please inform me of your availability for that session. It is important to note that this will not be a typical lesson, but rather a closing session for the year. As part of an annual tradition, I strive to visit as many music students as possible in person during this time, regardless of whether you are an online or in-person student. This provides an opportunity for you to meet me face-to-face, as many of you are familiar with me only through our Google Meet sessions. During this visit, I will present your certificates for the year in music and discuss various aspects of your musical experience over the past year. The visit is generally brief.
I will reach out to most of you by Friday to arrange a schedule for next week. I aim to complete this promptly so you can enjoy your holidays without further commitments.
For math and science students, please be aware that there will be no sessions next week. Since I adjusted your lessons earlier to support you during exams, no additional meetings are scheduled. Given the geographic diversity of my students, it would be impractical to visit everyone. However, you will receive feedback regarding our experiences throughout the year via WhatsApp if I cannot get to you.
INVOICING
I apologize for the delay in sending out invoices this month. They were all dispatched this morning. Please be aware that, due to the average payment system, full payment for December is still required. Kindly ensure that this payment is settled on or before December 1, 2024. This will be your final bill for the year, and if you continue with lessons, the next billing will occur in late January before we resume sessions for 2025. As this is a particularly financially stressful period for me, I kindly ask that you prioritize your December payment. Thank you all in advance.
NOTICE FOR CONTINUATION OF LESSONS
As we approach the time to make decisions regarding your continuation with me for the year 2025, I kindly request that you inform me of your intentions at your earliest convenience. While I would be delighted to have all of you as students, I understand that many of you may be moving on. Your timely response will greatly assist me in planning the structure and budget for the upcoming year. Additionally, those who confirm their continuation early will receive priority in placement for next year.
PLANNING AND STRUCTURE FOR 2025
I currently possess limited information regarding the structure for 2025. This will be determined once I can fully focus on planning after the studio has closed. Once I have more information, I will provide you with all the details.
Best wishes,
Werner
