Private Music Teacher Evaluations

 

Private Music Lesson Students, please share your learning experience with us!

 

We have a Teacher Evaluation Form to highlight both the strengths of you teacher and any concerns you may have. Your feedback is invaluable and will help your individual private lesson instructor and, in general, help us shape the future direction of our private lesson program.

 

You may complete the form anonymously and mail it to Maggie Wyporek, Hartt School Community Division Office, 200 Bloomfield Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06117. Or you may leave the form with a receptionist at the Hartt School Community Division Office. Extra copies of this form are also available in our office. If you feel that this format of discussing your experiences is not adequate, please contact Ms. Wyporek to make other arrangements.

 

In addition, if you are interested in sharing more of your experiences at The Hartt School Community Division, or if you are interested in submitting a testimonial, please contact Margaret Wyporek, Program Manager, at (860) 768-4718 or by email at wyporek@hartford.edu. Testimonials are very helpful for our fundraising and promotional efforts.

A portion of the campus roadway between The Hartt School and Lincoln Theater will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians beginning Monday, June 18, and continuing through the end of the Fall 2012 semester.

 

The road closure is part of a complex construction project that will include the demolition of the dam on the Park River and the building of a new bridge over the river.

 

During the summer and fall, those who need to access the residential side of campus, including Lincoln Theater, will need to use the Mark Twain Drive entrance to campus or use the north entrance on Bloomfield Avenue and drive past the residence halls and the Sports Center.
