Welcome Back & MYArts procedures

It was wonderful hearing the halls of MYArts filled with music on Tuesday! We’re so excited for a year of growth, creativity, and joyful music-making together.

If you haven’t already registered and paid for group classes, please do so!  Directions are below.  Tuition is due September 25th.  We will be assigning a late fee of $16 for any late payments after the 25th.  

MYARTS Procedures

MYArts requests that all people visiting while their students attend a class sign-in at the main desk and grab a green sticker.  We ask that SSM adults of younger students observe your student in class on the 2nd floor.  SSM adults can also use the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors.

Kids for Peace

Come celebrate the International Children’s Day of Peace at the Madison Children’s Museum on Saturday September 20, 2025!  We’ll meet at 9:30 for tuning and play at 10am.  All students are welcome to come and play!  The repertoire will be focused on the September review list–linked HERE.  Please wear your SSM tshirt.    This is a decades long partnership and collaboration between SSM and MCM❤️🎻

Registration Instructions

  1. Register for 2025-2026.  Click HERE to register–please note the different registration forms for Violin, Viola, and our multi-level group class at Covenant (more info on that below).  Payment for SSM is billed in two semesters–fall and spring.  Once you have filled out the registration form, visit the store HERE to make a payment for fall.  Tuition is due September 25th.  We will be assigning a late fee of $16 for any late payments after the 25th.  
  2. Make sure you are signed up for eblasts!  We have a weekly eblast on Saturday that contains info about SSM happenings.  It’s difficult to stay on top of special events and performances if you’re not signed up for these eblasts.  If you’re a new sign-up, I recommend checking your spam folder on Saturday after 2:30pm to make sure the eblast didn’t go there.
  3. Print our Fall/Winter Calendar!  Click on the image below to enlarge and print.  This is a one-stop shop of all SSM events leading up to the new year.  You can also find SSM events on our online calendar HERE.
  4. Print our September Review Sheet.  Each month we’ll post a review sheet.  These are the selections your student should be reviewing in practice that month, and the pieces we’ll perform together at the Play-In at the end of the month!  These review sheets can also be found under Learning Resources on the website.
  5.  Know where you’re going at MYArts on Tuesday!  Below is a list of group class locations at MYArts.  Molly will also be on the 2nd floor of MYArts to help you get where you’re going.
  6. Get ready for our Back to School Play-in and Welcome Party!  On September 30th we’ll meet in room 4D at MYARts for an all-school Play-in.  At 5:15 we’ll tune, and 5:30 we’ll begin playing!  We’ll all gather at 6:15 pizza, drinks, cake and fun on the 4th floor patio and Starlight common space.   This event will be FREE but we’ll have a tip jar available.
