Lessons for the 2008-2009 year will begin Tuesday, September 2
through May 22. |
|
1.
PRACTICE AND COMMITMENT: All students must practice daily, record
their practice times, and complete all assignments. This is very
essential for musical growth and progress. Successful and
rewarding music study depends on consistent daily practice.
Parents are asked to provide the following: an established
practice time, a tuned piano in good repair, supervision
for young beginners, and encouragement and support. |
| |
|
*Daily
Suggested Practice Times: Beginner: 15-20 minutes,
Elementary: 30 minutes, Intermediate:
45 minutes, Advance: 60 minutes or more.
Students are required to write down practice times in their
assignment book. |
| |
|
2.
SUPPLIES:
Students will need an assignment book, and folder. |
| |
|
Students are required to bring all their lesson books, solo
music, theory workbook, and assignment book to class each week. No
excuse for forgotten books, please. |

MISSED LESSONS:
There will
be no credit for missed lessons. Your place has been
reserved in the teaching schedule. Please try to schedule
lessons around sport activities. Make-up
lessons may be scheduled at a mutually convenient time in the case
of illness or occasional unavoidable conflict, provided advance
notice was given. *If you know
in advance if your son or daughter cannot come to a lesson, please
call me so I can fit students needing make-up lessons in the
schedule. |
| |
| 4. SICK POLICY: If your
child has had a fever or is ill within the last 24 hours of prior to
their lesson, please do not bring your child to their lesson.
Instead, contact me to schedule a make-up lesson. |
| |
| 5.
RECITAL/FESTIVALS: All students will be expected to
play at the studio Spring Recital. I will notify parents if your
child is prepared to perform in the many opportunities offered to
students. |
| |
|
6.
CONFERENCE: There will be a Parent/Teacher Conference
in February or March at the lesson time, to discuss your child’s
progress. |
| |
| 7.
TERMINATION OF LESSONS: Each student who registers for
lessons makes a commitment. The teacher may terminate a
student's lessons when the student is irregular in attendance,
repeatedly fails to prepare assigned material, or is disruptive and
disrespectful. A conference with the parents will be held prior to
termination, and a decision must be decided by the teacher and
parent. Parents, if you know your child is not practicing, please
encourage them to do so. If your child resists, than I would
recommend not to continue with the lessons. |
