— Our Zoom meeting room will be open during both individual and group lessons.
The Zoom meeting number and password will be sent via email. They are not posted on the website or bulletin board for security reasons.
—COME TO GROUP WHEN your group or book level is listed and when it says “everyone”.
—UPDATES to this schedule will come via email and be posted at www.evehubbard.com.
"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. Go to the www.evehubbard.come and click on “Fees-Policies-Directions” for the fees. Email Eve Hubbard for more info at evesviolin@aol.com.
GROUP ROOM—Most groups will be in room 121. Any changes will come to you on email and will be posted on www.evehubbard.com.
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 individual 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 affect many of our students. They are not a part of our program plans.
