Purpose
The ClearBranch Fine Arts Program is designed to provide quality and convenient training in the fine arts for ClearBranch and the surrounding community. Lessons in piano, voice, and drums are being offered by skilled instructors. Lessons for other instruments are being planned, so please contact us if you have an interest beyond those instrument lessons currently offered.

The intent of the program is to not only train musicians and singers, but to encourage the students to use their talents in ministry to the Lord and the community.

Lessons
It is very important that the student attend the lessons at the scheduled time. No credit will be given for lessons missed by the student. Missed lessons will evaluated on an individual basis to determine if a make-up lesson is warranted. Lessons missed by the teacher will always be made up.

There are four weeks per year when there will be no lessons offered: two weeks of Christmas Holidays, Spring Break, and one week during the summer.

There will be no lessons on any scheduled school holidays. Students scheduled for lessons on these days will be rescheduled when feasible.

Fees
Payment for classes are due in advance, one week before the beginning of the month. Please send the payment with the student. Checks should be made out directly to your instructor.

For payments not received by the 15th of the month, lessons will be suspended until payment is received, and there will be a $10 late charge applied. Normal monthly fees are $80, based on four lessons per month. Semi-monthly lessons (twice a month) or other rates may be offered at the discretion of the teacher.

Books
Books and supplemental music are available through your instructor. These may be paid for when received or with the next monthly payment.

Location
Lessons will be offered on the ClearBranch campus. Contact the Fine Arts Coordinator for more information.
