How to Enroll

Strings by the Sea, August 1-5, 2011

Early Enrollment Recommended!
Make sure your Enrollment Forms are postmarked by June 15 to avoid the $50 late fee per family. Your early enrollment ensures proper placement of your camper and receipt of your music before the start of camp.

Students in Book 5 and above: Although we make every effort to accommodate all students, we may have difficulty placing late enrollees in a chamber music group with players of similar experience. Please make every effort to enroll by LateFeeDate, and if you wish to enroll an advanced student (Book 5 and above) after LateFeeDate, please email us at info@StringsbytheSea.org or call (858)277-7543.

Prerequisites and Requirements
Campers attending Strings by the Sea must be studying privately with a Suzuki teacher who has participated in Suzuki Association of the Americas teacher training, and who is registered as a Suzuki teacher with the SAA or is currently a teacher trainee. All students play their Suzuki repertoire from memory in Repertoire and Technique Classes.

Students who have not reached their 8th birthday by August 1, 2011 MUST be accompanied by a parent or other adult to ALL classes. Parents of students ages 8 and older are always welcome and encouraged, though not required, to attend their children's classes.

Full-Day and Half-Day Sessions
All students who are playing Book 1 Allegro or beyond by August 1 will, regardless of age, attend as Full-Day campers. Students who are not playing Book 1 Allegro by August 1 will attend the Half-Day session. Exceptions may be made for school-age students who, though not yet playing Book 1 Allegro, are able to read music. Half-Day students must be able to play all Twinkle Variations and Twinkle Theme by memory, using fingers and bow together. Please email us at info@stringsbythesea.org or call (858)277-7543 if you have questions.

Placement
Every student will be scheduled for a Repertoire Class, as well as a Technique Class. Since these classes are assigned according to book, and since the classes will focus to a great extent on the repertoire of that book, students need to be at least half way through the book in order to be able to participate fully in the classes. Students who are not yet half way through their book by July 1 will be assigned to the class of their previous book. If, between the time the student enrolls and July 1, the student progresses to at least half way through the next book, please contact Strings by the Sea immediately so that placement changes can be made. Info@stringsbythesea.org or (858) 277-7543.
