Time slots and makeup lessons

Time slots and makeup lessons Students are assigned a regular weekday/time and expected to attend all planned lessons. You are not charged for the lesson but for the reserved time slot. In a case of illness please make notifications at least 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations/ not showing up are not refundable. Exceptions will be made in cases of emergencies. There will be 3 make-up lessons per school year (September to June) and can be made up Monday through Friday mornings, from 9 am to 2 pm. Greater than 3 missed lessons are not refundable. You may omit payment during pre-scheduled vacations and major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and 4th of July). I do teach on Monday holidays. If I am sick and cannot teach, all lessons will be made up.


Lessons

Please be on time because I cannot extend your lesson if you are late. When arriving, please feel free to quietly enter (no need to knock) and find a seat until the prior lesson is finished. Prompt pickup after the lesson is appreciated. Bring your music books and notebook. The students should make sure they clean their hands before the lesson (if needed they can clean them here). Keep the fingernails neat and short. Parents can stay during the lessons but are not required to.


Class Materials

Students/parents are expected to purchase books and music sheets (from the teacher or the music store). From time to time I may provide copies of them. For your convenience you can drop used music books for purchase by another student or buy used book (both for half price).


Practicing

Practice between lessons is a regular basis and essential to the student's growth and successful development.


Recitals

Throughout the year studio recitals are an exciting opportunity for students to build self confidence and present their new skills in a performance setting. Students enjoy showcasing their talents to family members and other students. Your will be provided with more information as recitals are planned.
