In Junior High and High School, please sit-in on the first lesson of each month when tuition is due. Of course, you may attend every lesson for any age child. Regardless of your child's age, please read their spiral notebook and make a mental note of the practice goals for the week and which pieces should be echoing from your piano room. Ask them if they have done everything on the list each day they practice. These little nudges by Mom or Dad go a long way and greatly benefit the value you glean from the next lesson.
Open communication is encouraged between parents and teacher.
Parents with any concerns or questions may feel free to call Mrs. McIntyre at home at anytime. Students may phone or e-mail her with questions, too. There is nothing more exciting and fun than learning to play a musical instrument. Although music is a discipline, it is an art form which expresses the world and feelings around us. When family members share their genuine enthusiasm for all of the arts by attending concerts, visiting museums, and collecting recordings, the effect on your young pianist is exponential.
