Studio Handbook:
Practice Expectations and Instrument Requirements
A student’s progress is determined by dedicated practice, not by simply attending lessons. Ideally, students should practice 4 to 5 days a week. Specific amounts of practice time are not assigned to each student. Instead, students should practice long enough to complete their weekly assignments.
Parental Support is an extremely important factor in musical training. Students whose parents take an active role in their progress tend to be more enthusiastic and productive. Create a quiet space where the student can practice, and schedule a time for practice each day.
Instrument Requirements: All students (voice included) should have regular access to an acoustic piano or an 88 key modern digital piano with a weighted hammer action. Acoustic pianos should be kept in good working order and should be tuned at least once a year. Please see me for tuner recommendations!
Missed Lessons: If you miss a lesson you will need to contact me for a makeup.
Lesson times are standing appointments; a student’s lesson time is reserved for only them each week, and it is their responsibility to attend. Dance classes and sports teams do not offer reimbursements if you cannot attend a rehearsal or game – music lessons are no different.
Because specific times are set aside for specific students, a student who does not attend a lesson will simply miss the benefit of that lesson.
