We will start a very limited number of new students on violin in Winter 2012,  and the two-part Introductory Parent Sessions will take place  on Saturdays January 7 and 14, 2012, from 1 pm to 4 pm on both days.   We do require these sessions for enrollment, so reserve those dates if you’d like to enroll for Winter/Spring Semester 2012!

For information about starting your child on violin or viola,  Margaret Carpenter can be reached at 231-9241, or at margaret@sfte-nm.org, or call Rick at 231-9242.

For lessons in the Santa Fe area on other instruments: Claire Onuf, cello at 466-3788. Sasha Garver, Suzuki flute/piano at 603-3404 or Lydia Madrick about piano at 690-4998.

You may fill out an enrollment form at any time. This is non-binding.  We can send this form to you electronically (we do not have a downloadable version, sorry–e-mail us for the Word document), by regular mail, or when you come observe the group lesson.

We will then set up a meeting with you and your child, so we can meet you and answer all of your questions!

Every child in our program gets a weekly group lesson as well as a weekly private lesson.

Tuition is $118 per month for all 12 months of the year. When you enroll we ask you to make a commitment for at least 5 months. The yearly tuition fee total of $1416 includes all private lessons, group lessons, recitals, play-ins, group concerts and special events. The only additional fee is the beginners packet ($180), a one-time fee charged when you begin, which includes cd’s, books, music and parent instruction.

Our studios are located at 451 Cerrillos Road, just north of the intersection of Cerrillos and Manhattan.  There is a parking lot behind the building- the driveway is located on the east side of the street, just north of Santa Fe Mortgage.  Overflow parking is available in the parking lot on the southeast corner of Cerrillos and Manhattan.

Do not worry about obtaining an instrument for yourself or your child before the parent session starts: we will cover the details of buying or renting an instrument in the parent sessions.
