Do not bring sick students to the studio, they will be turned away. If they are too sick for a virtual lesson, we can schedule a make-up session during the next vacation break. 

Last minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) and/ or no-shows will not receive a make-up. 

If you are late to the lesson you will only receive the time remaining of your lesson. 

The studio will attempt two remote recitals this year. There is a student recital for elementary aged students, and a separate teen/ adult recital.

Please choose a day and time that will fit your schedule for the school year. 

Please do not arrive for your lesson more than 5 minutes early. If you do please wait outside, especially if another student is finishing their lesson.

Practice is a very important aspect for success in learning music. Setting up regular practice time is necessary. Plan on 4-6 days of practice per week. The amount of time spent practicing varies depending on student age, ability, and length of lesson. We can discuss your student’s specific practice plan. Each student has a Google doc and Virtual Practice Room that will guide practice sessions. 

Having a piano is necessary for practice. Keyboards are acceptable only for new beginners. Students having six months or more of lessons need a digital piano with 88 weighted keys and damper pedal, or an acoustic piano (upright or grand) for practice.
