The performance times will be 9:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and 1 p.m. Please arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each show to check in, have your instrument tuned if need be, and have your photograph taken. Saturday Workshops The Saturday workshops have also been a big hit with students since making them available every Saturday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. The workshops are an additional musical activity that NSM offers to our students. Students can register to participate in any workshop by purchasing a spot on the schedule through the Administration Office. Also, if a student misses their individual lesson for any reason, they may register to participate in a workshop at NO CHARGE. Workshops may be attended to offset missing lessons while on vacation as well. Please register with either Ro-Ann or Glenn in the Administration Office. The Musical Ladder System Since implementing this motivational system, we’ve had approximately 100 of our students earn a wristband as a reward for demonstrating to their teacher that they are learning what they are taught. As students work their way up the musical ladder, they will have opportunities to earn certificates and trophies for their hard work in addition to the wristbands.
