Monthly Lesson Signup

Lesson tuition is due on a per-month basis, invoiced at the beginning of each month. Cash, cheque, and e-transfer are all acceptable forms of payment.

Studio Policies/Things to Remember

My Responsibilities:

- Maintaining a positive learning environment

-Tailoring the lessons to match each student's needs and interests

-Giving clear assignments and directions for practice at home

Parent Responsibilities:

- Equipping your child with necessary things for lessons (tuner, metronome, books, etc.)

- Involvement in your child's regular practicing habits. About 5x a week is great. Frequency and covering that we learned in the lesson are the most important things.

Student Responsibilities (also parental responsibilities for young children):

-Always arriving prepared (notebook, instrument, music books, etc.)

-Regular practice and covering what we worked on in the lesson. Ultimately one of my goals of a teacher is for the student to not need a teacher - learning how to problem solve and how to effectively improve on difficult parts of a piece is something I focus on greatly during lessons.

-Being attentive and willing to try new things during lessons (not always easy!)

-Asking lots of questions and being curious!

-Keeping your left hand nails short.

Lesson Cancellations:

I require 24h notice to be given if a student must miss a lesson, or it might not be rescheduled. I do understand emergencies/things come up though, and I will always do my best to accommodate make-up lessons.
