Checks preferred. Credit Card and PayPal payments cost NHMC a significant fee, money that would otherwise go into programming. As a result there will be a one-time $30 charge per camper for paying by Credit Card or PayPal. Whether pay your tuition in full, your deposit, your balance, or late fee, you need only pay this fee once. The $30 charge is due with the first use of Credit Card or PayPal. Fee does not apply for Scholarship Fund Donations.

A NOTE ABOUT ABILITY LEVELS:
Beginner: Working on basics of rhythm, tone, intonation, instrument specific technique, repertoire, and playing by ear. Looking for simple tunes in workshops, taught slowly, with help on technique primarily, and style secondarily. Expecting slow tempos* in jams, with easy and common tunes and more guidance.
Lower Intermediate: Can play at a reasonable speed and learn by ear. Working on technique and on going beyond the basic tune. Looking for simpler tunes in workshops, taught at a moderate pace, with help on both technique and style. Expecting slower jam tempos* with well-known tunes and more guidance.
Upper Intermediate: Can play significant repertoire up to speed from memory, comfortable learning by ear, working on technique and on going beyond the basic tune. Looking for more challenging intermediate tunes in workshops, taught more quickly, with less focus on technique and more on style. Expecting faster jam tempos*, a broader range of tunes, and less guidance.
Advanced: Knows a larger repertoire, up to speed, in one or more styles and plays with nuance from memory within these styles, learns quickly by ear, has generally solid technique, and a fair amount of experience playing with others. Looking for a relatively fast teaching pace and challenging tunes in workshops, with a focus on ornaments, variations, and nuances of style. Expecting fast jam tempos*, challenging wide-ranging tunes, and little guidance.
*A note on tempo: “fast” or “up to speed” means dance speed (110-120 bpm) or faster; a typical 16 bar reel or jig should take 35-40 seconds at most. Moderate jams will be a little slower and wider ranging, more like 45-55 seconds to play a tune once through.
If you have questions about any of this, please feel free to email us at nhmcvt@gmail.com or call Todd (802)-585-5894
