Concerts,
Recitals, Master Classes, etc.
It is the teacher's responsibility to
inspire students by performing pieces for them in their lessons or in public; however,
beyond the studio the teacher has little control over what the student/child
does. So as a parent, it is your
responsibility to inspire your child's interest and love in music by
encouraging him or her to attend concerts, recitals, and master classes.
Attendance
Attendance and punctuality are VERY
important! Students are expected to
attend all scheduled lessons, punctually and prepared. There is a no make-up policy for
students missing lessons for any reason (unless priory discussed with the teacher). After three unexcused absences the student
becomes eligible for dismissal.
Excused Absence - In order for any absence to be excused
the teacher must receive a 24 hr. prior notification.
Unexcused Absence - All other
absences are considered unexcused
Practice
Practicing must be consistent,
efficient, and MUST be done daily.
It is also important to note that practicing does not just consist of
daily repetitions. Practicing is an art which
may only be mastered by the student solving technical problems through his or
her knowledge and interpretation of the music.
Practice schedules will be assigned accordingly by the teacher.
Beginner - 30 minutes daily
Intermediate - 45 minutes daily
Advanced - 60 minutes daily
