GENERAL INFORMATION This section provides a general overview of the Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Arts. It includes a description of the Conservatory’s faculty, class offered as well as general guidelines of comportment and expectations. For a more detailed and specific set of guidelines, please see the Responsibilities and Requirements section starting on page 12 . Faculty Our Conservatory faculty is chosen for its excellent teaching and artistic skills and professional credentials. Each enjoys a superb reputation in their respective areas of expertise. Our teachers focus, not only on students’ progression and growth in their arts discipline, but also on nurturing individual qualities such as respect for self and others, self-discipline, pride, and responsibility. We are fortunate to avail ourselves of our teacher’s knowledge, experience, skill and caring natures. Resumes of each Conservatory teacher, including training and experience, are presented at the end of this handbook. Classes Conservatory classes are open to students of all ages (children, adolescents, and adults), from beginner to professional levels. In all Conservatory disciplines, level placement is made at the discretion of the department heads and faculty, based on student age and ability. All decisions are made with the student’s best interest in mind. Unlike an academic setting, students in an arts’ conservatory often remain in a level for more than one year. Of utmost importance is that our students are promoted at a pace that is appropriate to his/her proficiency in the given discipline—demonstrated by elements such as their physical strength, developmental maturity, and demonstration of the necessary knowledge base for promotion. Please do not be concerned if a student remains in a level for two or more years. Dress Code Each arts discipline has its own dress requirements. It is the student’s (and/or parent’s) responsibility to ensure that the dress code and appropriate requirements are met before page 5 of 35
entering class. Uniforms for specific disciplines are listed in the Responsibilities and Requirements section on page 19. Bags or other paraphernalia that convey inappropriate pictures or slogans are not permitted on the Conservatory premises. In addition, no clothes with inappropriate monikers may be used in any of the disciplines. Only dance shoes may be worn in dance studios and on stage; no street shoes are permitted. Furthermore, dance shoes should not be worn outdoor; this ruins your shoes and studio floors. To ensure safety, students are not to walk barefoot in the Conservatory hallways or outdoor premises. Registration and Tuition Registration and tuition are payable in the Main Office of the Academy building. Tuition is based on one yearly fee, September through May. For your convenience, tuition may be divided into nine (9) equal monthly payments. However, please note that holidays and vacation time do not affect the monthly payment because they have been already accounted for in the yearly tuition fee. Please refer to the Tuition Sheet for a detailed listing of each discipline and the corresponding tuition. There is a $40.00 registration fee per discipline, and a $10.00 late fee, per month if tuition is not paid by the 5th of the month. Building and Theater Use Following is a list of what is expected of each arts student regarding the use of Conservatory facilities: • Students are not permitted in the Conservatory building or the Theater without a faculty or staff member present. • Students are not allowed to use the dance studios without a faculty or staff member present. • No chewing gum, food or beverages are allowed inside the studios, practice classrooms, dressing rooms, or Theater. • Only students actively attending Conservatory classes are allowed in the dressing rooms before and after their class. page 6 of 35
