Practice Ideas For Parents

Having trouble practicing?  Here are some ideas that might help.
◆ First and most importantly let your teacher know that you are having trouble and ask for some ideas
◆ Pick the same time every day to practice so it becomes a routine
◆ Leave the violin out in a safe place so that it is easily accessible
◆ Create a “Practice space”  with music stand, music, instrument, tuner, metronome etc.”
◆ Use games to make it fun
◆ Roll dice to determine repetitions
◆ Count repetitions with pennies, skittles, m&m’s etc.
◆ Have a practice plant in the practice area that “might wither if it doesn’t hear music every day”

Instrumental Rental
It is of utmost importance to have a quality instrument for the student to play. 

Make-Up Policy

PRIVATE LESSON MAKEUP POLICY
2020 – 2021

1. There will be no make-ups for missed lessons.
2. If Student is sick, let us know as soon as possible. Do NOT come to a lesson if you are sick. If you miss school because of an illness, then you are also too sick for a lesson.
3. Sometimes make-ups can be scheduled in the time slot of another student who has given plenty of notice for their missed lesson.
4. Please be on time to your lesson. If you are late for any reason, please just understand that your lesson will still end at the regular time. Our schedules are such that we have students back to back all day until 8pm so it is impossible to increase your lesson time if you are late.
5. In the event that your teacher needs to miss a lesson you will always be given as much notice as possible and the lesson will be made up when it is both convenient for you and your teacher.
6. If there is a hurricane and schools are closed, lessons are cancelled.
