To help develop self-discipline and good working habits, it is suggested that a regular time be set aside each day. Usually the amount of practice increases gradually with skill. A one month trial period with parent notification will precede lesson termination. Parents of younger students should be prepared to be involved in the practice process, especially the first practice after a lesson where new material has been assigned. The amount of parental involvement will be determined by the age and personality of the student.
Parents are welcome to observe private and group lessons.
We request that when observing lessons, parents be as discreet and unobtrusive as possible. Parents of children in their first year of lessons are strongly encouraged to attend both group and private lessons. Parents are required to attend their child s private and group lessons. If the student does not have a piano or strings instructor preference, the director will appoint a teacher. Most piano students are taught by the director of the center.
