Lessons missed due to sports activities, social events, and no show cannot be made up. Please keep in mind that monthly tuition is based on your child's enrollment and not attendance.
Practice Expectations
To ensure progress, students are expected to practice daily, and come to lessons with completed assignments.
General guidelines for practice time: Beginner students- 30 minutes per day, Intermediate- 45 minutes per day
Late intermediate-advance-one hour or more per day. Students who wish to excel should allow for more practice time
Instrument
Students are required to own or have access to an acoustic piano for daily practice. Learning on acoustic piano will help students learning proper technique, touch and sound. Even the most technologically advanced digital piano cannot match the touch and feel of the acoustic piano. Your piano should be properly maintained and tuned every 6-12 months.
