Group lessons are open to all, regardless of vaccination status.
Our Zoom meeting room will be open during group lessons.
In-person individual lessons require proof of vaccination against covid by everyone in attendance.
Those who are not vaccinated may have lessons on Zoom.
—You will have group when your group or book level is listed and when it says “everyone”.
—Students enrolled with Greensboro Strings will be alerted via email as updates and changes are made.
"GROUP-ONLY STUDENTS” join Greensboro Strings for group lessons but have individual lesson with an outside teacher. They are entitled to participate in all events. Click on “Fees-Policies-Directions,” above, for the fees.
GROUP ROOM—Most groups will be in room 121. Any changes will come to you on email and will be posted on this page.

CLASS TIMES
Come on the dates that your group level is listed and when it says "everyone". Your group level will be sent in a separate email and listed on the website. If you don't see your name on the list, ask Eve Hubbard. We aim for twice a month for each group. Sometimes it's more often, other times it's less.
THERE WILL BE GROUP FOR SOMEBODY ON MOST MONDAY NIGHTS.
GCS (GUILFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS) WORKDAYS are NOT holidays from lessons. They are listed in the WEEK-TO-WEEK schedule, for your convenience. If you would like to find someone to switch with, please refer to my individual lesson schedule and please tell me your plans. All parties involved in the switch are responsible for remembering what they’ve decided.
ITEMS LISTED IN PARENTHESES are events that effect many of our students. They are not a part of our program plans.
