Fee Structure
Class assignments will be determined by FCSS directorship in consultation with your private teacher. These assignments will determine your fee. If you are a beginner student, you will be participating in class only. If your student is able to participate in one of the orchestras (ie. training or junior), they will be placed according to their abilities.
Intermediate and Senior students will be placed in a chamber group, class, orchestra and our new Performance/Masterclass. These will occur 5 times this year at a time outside of our regular programming. The 2022-2023 year will be 25 weeks in length.

More Chamber Music Opportunities for Senior Students, with Professional Coaches
FCSS has always strived to create momentum for our advancing students through gratifying and meaningful musical experiences. Our senior violin and cello classes have been shining examples of this. This year, all senior students will be enrolled in chamber music ensembles as another way to experience the rewarding process of musical collaboration.
These groups will be variable in size and flexible: students may have the opportunity to join one or more different kinds of ensembles throughout the course of the year.
Private Lessons
All FCSS students must be enrolled in private lessons.
If you are in need of a private instructor for violin, viola, cello, double-bass, or harp, we will be more than happy to put you in touch with any one of our many highly-skilled educators. FCSS is proud to have a faculty of performers and pedagogues, many of whom come with doctoral, master's and education degrees in music.
