Materials and Supplies:
Students taking instrumental lessons can expect about $20-$40 of music expenses throughout the year. Notification of bills for music or extra supplies will be sent as needed. These charges will be applied to your account, and charged at the same time as the current month’s payment.
​
Students taking instrumental lessons need an instrument in the home for daily practice. A metronome is required for all students. Guitar students will also need a tuner, capo and picks.
Practice requirements and goals will vary according to teacher assignments and student levels. The more practice, the more progress!
​
Parental Involvement
Parents are welcomed to stay and wait during lessons. Please make yourself at home in living room upstairs. If you would like to watch your child or talk to me, please come into studio the last five minutes of class time. I have found that students focus better when a parent is not in the room.
Students in instrumental lessons also have an assignment notebook to facilitate communication between studio and home. Included in the notebook is a lesson planner and students are encouraged to log practice time each week.
Parental support is crucial to the success of each student. To keep parents informed, I will regularly communicate via email or text.
