Lessons
The Parent
Parental support is a must for a child's musical growth. Show an interest and enthusiasm for his or her musical accomplishments; make sure they have a good instrument and keep it in good repair; refrain from interrupting practice time; and be helpful, engaged and supportive. Young students especially need help with their practice.
​
The Student
Daily practice is essential. Establish the length of practice and practice habits with your teacher and parents. Set aside regular times to practice and follow this schedule. Fulfill any special assignments given by the teacher. Arrive prepared and on time with all necessary books and materials. If requested by the teacher the student should fill out and hand in practice sheets.
​
The Teacher
Our professionally trained, expert teachers are always available to discuss lessons. The teacher sets definite goals, both long term and short term, and has the responsibility to provide the student a positive atmosphere for learning. Our teachers continue to further their teaching skills by attending workshops, educational programs and engaging in activities leading to professional growth.
