Note: FGCW is committed to providing, as closely as possible, the advertised amount of podium time. Any student’s exact amount of podium time may vary by a few minutes, depending on the instructor’s pedagogical choices and/or unforeseen circumstances. All participants are expected to be present and attentive for all sessions. As a courtesy to students and faculty, texting during the sessions is strongly discouraged.
Complimentary HD video recordings of the sessions are offered as part of our service to aid in your personal study. While every effort is made to ensure the quality and availability of these recordings, FGCW cannot guarantee that they will be free from technical glitches such as being out of focus, accidental erasure, or failures to record due to human error. The primary focus of our program is on the direct instruction from our professors and the interactive experience with the orchestra. Therefore, students are encouraged to bring their own recording devices as a backup and for faster access to the session recordings. We sincerely strive to provide quality recordings, but please understand that occasional technical issues may occur.
