Guidelines for Successful Music
Lessons
Payments are due your first lesson of every month. Fees will
be prorated if your lessons start in the middle of the month. Monthly fees
do not change even when there are five lessons in a given month, or three
lessons during major holiday months such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th
of July, Memorial Day or Labor Day.
Rescheduling a lesson due to any reason is acceptable provided it
is done within 48 hours but a one-week or more notice is preferred. Any
lesson cancelled on the part of the instructor due to illness or
unforeseen circumstances will be rescheduled or credited.
Lessons will be conducted in a timely
manner. Music and creativity have little concept of time so your lesson
may run a few minutes over your time or end a few minutes early. If for
any reason your feel you are not getting the proper amount of lesson time,
or if we are keeping you from another appointment, please make us aware so
that we can accommodate your needs.
Practice is mandatory. Practice what you are taught.
Repetition results in faster learning. Practice 30 minutes a day 5 days a
week. Practice your assigned lessons and experiment with new sounds. Have
fun with the sounds you are creating. You are expected to keep a practice
record, a record of the time spent practicing, and the days you practice.
Music is part brain-power and part feeling. Think and
learn. Also, let yourself go into the musical world, beyond your senses
and into the flow and feeling of music. Music is as much heart as it is
head. Music will help you develop your own thinking skills as well as good
feelings about yourself.
Parents: Take a little time to listen to your child practice.
Remind them to practice. Music is fun and enjoyable, and it takes
discipline to enhance the experience. Discipline usually doesn't come
naturally and must be taught. |
