Lesson Time:
Please bring all your books and notebook! Please be prompt for your lesson time. Parents, please promptly pick up your student at the end of the lesson time. Please refrain from parking on the driveway.

Tuition:
Fees are due at the first lesson of the month. Fees for books or events may be included with tuition payments.

Materials:
All students need a well tuned piano. Tuning twice a year (minimum of once) is needed. If you only tune once a year, schedule it in the late fall once your house is closed up for the winter. Each student should have a metronome and a pocket music dictionary.

Performances:
Students are encouraged to participate in as many of the available events as they wish. I ask that students try out repertoire in a studio recital before appearing before a judge in an audition or competition. Students are encouraged to participate in other performing opportunities (church, school, etc.) but I would like to know about it. That will allow for adequate preparation so the student can be successful.

Practice:
Daily practice is necessary for steady progress. Students only need to practice the days they intend to eat! I realize this is not always possible so try for 5 days a week for the length of your lesson.

Missed Lessons:
If a student gives me 24 hour notification of a missed lesson, I will either give the student a make up option or credit the student with one lesson for the next month. Without the 24 hour notice, a make up or credit will not be given.. The only exceptions to this are illness (too sick to attend school) or inclement weather.

Termination of Lessons:
If a student decides to terminate lessons, there must be a one month notification prior to the date of termination.

Summer Lessons:
Students are encouraged to continue lessons during the summer months. Few demands are being made on the brain once school is out and these students usually make excellent progress. Please note any special interest you have for a summer project.
