Dog Days...

It's a scorcher today in NYC. They say it's supposed to feel like 100 degrees with the humidity. I believe it! Thankfully, we are nice and cool inside here at Singers Forum. I actually have to wear a sweater! I've always found I get warmer when I'm singing, so I'm sure everyone who is working in the studios feels pretty comfortable.

I just sent out an e-mail about the opening of Fall registration, and the calls and e-mails started pouring in. Here are the facts:

1. August 17 is the first day of Fall 2009 registration. It always has been; there have been signs up for a couple of weeks, it's been on the website for a week, and the e-blast confirming that just went out today.
2. August 29 is the last day of "Early Registration." If you sign up for the full session of a group class before the close of business (6 pm) that day, you get a 10% discount on the class fee.
3. There are no waiting lists before August 17. If you call after registration starts and a class is full, we will put you on a waiting list in case people withdraw.
4. You must talk to someone to sign up for class! Don't consider yourself registered unless you have spoken to the registrar and arranged for payment. (That means no e-mail, no voice mail. Face to face or a phone conversation is the only way we sign people up.) That keeps us from overbooking a class.
5. Split-Payment is available if you fill out a form, pay half the fee, and give us a credit card number. That card is charged the second half of the payment on November 9.
6. If you don't know what class you should take, sign up for a free consultation! We can't recommend classes over the phone, and no one but our Administrator (Angelique) or our Artistic Director (Don Rebic) is supposed to recommend classes or teachers. You are free to sign up for any open enrollment class without a consultation, but we do charge a cancellation fee if you withdraw.
7. All of our policies can be found on our website! www.singersforum.org

I hope that's all clear. Always call us if you have any questions! (212-366-0541, 1-800-NYSINGS)
