Chorus – NEW!
We are excited to announce that Upper Elementary and Middle School students can elect to participate in Chorus this year! Practice, led by Springmont Music Teacher Stefanie Freinkel, will be held before school (7:30-8:15 am) each Monday morning and one Friday morning per month. Open to a maximum of 30 students, Chorus is included in tuition. Students will perform in the fall and spring Recitals. If your Upper Elementary or Middle School student is interested in joining this program, please email Stefanie (sfreinkel@springmont.com) by August 15.  If more than 30 students are interested, participants will be selected by lottery, and the remaining students will be added to a waitlist. 

Beginning Strings – UPDATED!
Students interested in joining our Strings program as beginners will be offered 30-minute private lessons once a week after school from late August through December. Instruction is included in tuition and will be provided by Music Teacher Stefanie Freinkel and/or a second Strings instructor selected by Stefanie and who has passed Springmont's background check process. 
In mid-December, Stefanie will decide which beginning students are ready to join an ensemble group in January. Students who are not yet ready to join an ensemble group may continue with private lessons at the family’s expense until they are proficient enough to join an ensemble. These lessons can be with Stefanie or an instructor of the family’s choosing.

Springmont will cover instrument rental costs during the school year, but families will be required to sign an Instrument Rental Agreement. Families wanting longer lessons or additional private lessons may arrange these with Stefanie at their own expense. 

If your Elementary or Middle School student is interested in joining this program, please email Stefanie (sfreinkel@springmont.com) by August 15. If more than 10 beginner students are interested, participants will be chosen by lottery, and the remaining students will be added to a waitlist. 

Intermediate to Advanced Strings
String ensemble instruction, included in tuition, will continue to be offered to Elementary and Middle School students who play at an intermediate or advanced level once a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings before school (7:30-8:15 am). Ensemble students will perform in the fall and spring Recitals.

Springmont will cover instrument rental costs during the school year, but families will be required to sign an Instrument Rental Agreement. Families wanting private supplemental lessons may arrange these with Stefanie at their own expense.
