Anna Bekolay's Studio

Early Registration Letter:

Dear Students, Parents, & Guardians,

Congratulations!!! Thanks to all of you for all your work this past musical year!! I am so proud of you for the progress made and increased focus during and between lessons again this year!

In the fall:

I plan once again to teach in-person lessons as well as online lessons as needed! Please be in touch with me about your preference!

In the 2026-2027 Musical Year:

Lesson lengths are 30-min, 40-min, 60-min, & 90-min. Lessons will mostly be scheduled back-to-back & I might include a 5-minute break after 40-min lessons depending on how my scheduling works out.

Programming:
If you register for one of the Group Classes as well as for an individual Spot in the Studio, you will notice your musical skills develop much faster and have a deeper understanding of what you are doing – you will also have more fun & make creative connections with other students in the classes!! And, your Program Fees will be reduced by another 8% - let me know if you are interested in this and I will do up an Invoice for you that includes this extra, extra savings – the classes will run if they fill & I highly encourage people to sign up for the classes!!

I continue to invite students to specifically engage with their music and to take some of the lead in their programming. The lessons we have had this year once again showed me just how much lead you are all able to continue to take and I am very happy with your involvement in your music and hope to continue this!!

That said, all lesson programs are individually developed with input from each student regarding their program, goals, and inspirations. So, nearly anything goes! As usual, scales, arpeggios, & technique are non-negotiable – and many of you have seen the exciting benefits of them first hand through your explorations this year!!!
Fees:
This year, my regular fees have gone up just under 2% to accommodate the rising cost of living and, as usual Part-time and Full-time students get a little discount. In addition to this, by taking advantage of Early Registration, an extra 11+% is taken off regular Program Fees – fees listed on the Early Registration Form include this extra savings!!

Thank you for this opportunity to work with you and I hope to be able to continue to work with you for the 2026–2027 Musical Year!!

Needing help financially to continue with lessons? See if you qualify for help from Creative Kids!!! https://creativekidssask.ca/ Their application deadlines are: May 22, Aug 12, & Dec 2

I can also arrange to have my Studio sponsor up to 2 families of up to 3 students each – offering a small extra percentage off given rates. Offered upon request for 9-month registration - first come, first served.

Thanks again!

Dear Students, Parents, & Guardians,

Terribly sorry to have to do this: I am cancelling our Workshop that was scheduled for tomorrow morning: Sat, Mar 28 9:30am.

I am gradually getting better, but it is taking a long time and mornings are not possible for teaching activities at this time.

So, on with otherwise regular programming!
Many Thanks and my apologies!
Anna
