Chapter Policies regarding sign-ups for Master Lessons
- The Master Lesson Chairperson will announce deadlines for signing up for Master Lessons several times a year in the newsletter and website, and teachers may sign up at the designated chapter meeting or by contacting the Chairperson via email or telephone. This year's Master Lesson Chairperson is Cherie Felts. jscffelts@comcast.net. Fall 2010 sign ups will occur at the JUNE MEETING.
- Once a teacher has signed up, this becomes a firm commitment for that teacher to be personally responsible for payment for that particular time slot. If for any reason the student(s) cannot take the Master Lesson, the teacher is still responsible. There are various ways the teacher can handle this. Another student could take the lesson, or the teacher might want to take the lesson him or herself, or the teacher might want to use the time to get some help with pedagogy from the Master Teacher, or the teacher might contact other chapter members to see if they might want to use the time slot for one of their students.
- Please inform the Chairperson if a substitution is arranged. However, if no use can be found for that time slot, the Master Teacher must still be paid and this is the responsibility of the teacher who signed up for the time. The Chairperson is not responsible for finding substitutes.
