missed lessons. Students may withdraw from all lessons before the end of a semester with 2 weeks notice and receive a refund for remainder.
RECITALS, COMPETITIONS & PERFORMANCE FEES:
Performance is an important element in a student’s musical education. Because of this we offer a wide range of performance
opportunities. Elena Berman leads a performance class every Saturday of the Fall, Winter, & Spring Semesters. This is a wonderful chance for students
to work on their technique while performing in front of a group of people. Also, one Sunday per month Student Recitals are held to show off the pieces
that the students have been working on and to give the other students in the school a chance to hear what each is doing. Advanced students also participate
in our annual benefit concerts which is held as part of our fundraisers to support the NBS Classical Music Institute
Scholarship Program.
Participation in any or all of these events is on a volunteer basis and you may participate as often as you would like. A concert fee of $40 is charged to all
families once per year in order to cover the additional costs of providing these opportunities. This fee supports an extremely unique and important aspect of
musical education at the Nelly Berman School.
In addition to these performance opportunities, many students participate in a variety of competitions held at various times throughout the year. These are posted
at the school office and vary greatly in their degree of competitiveness.
