Studio Policies

Student Expectations and Responsibilities

• Students are expected to be on time with necessary materials or cancel via the studio portal if for any reason you are unable to keep your scheduled lesson/class, or contact your teacher directly if you will be late.
• Proper behavior and language is expected if attending in-person at the studio at all times from students and anyone present with the student (please be understanding of individuals who have challenges, though, thank you). 
• Students are expected to complete assigned work on time and communicate with your teacher if there is a challenge.
• If attending classes/lessons online, please be sure that you're in a room where others are not walking through often, talking loudly, or watching TV. These are distractions that make it difficult for the student and teacher to have a great class/lesson. Thanks! :)
• Practice regularly, 4-5 times a week using the tools we provide.
• Participate in our bi-annual Showcases to support fellow students and share your progress and success. This is a celebration, and we love celebrating the success of each student!
• Participate in studio special events whenever possible.

Parent/Guardian Expectations and Responsibilities

• Be involved - helpful, supportive, and interested in what your child is learning.
• Provide a well-maintained instrument for your child.
• Help students reserve a regular time for practice 4-5 times a week.
• Provide a practice environment that is free from interruptions and distractions - family, friends, TV, etc.
• Be financially responsible and communicate any questions or concerns right away. 
• Help with your child's online lessons and practice as needed.
• Communicate often to your child that you are proud of their efforts and progress.
