GENERAL STUDIO INFORMATION

• Students are expected to bring all materials (assignment folders, music books, and otherwise)

to lesson. lesson.

• Keep it Clean! ALL students are REQUIRED to wash their hands before each lesson. Students

must also remove wet/muddy shoes before entering the studio. Food, gum, and non-water

drinks are prohibited in the studio.

• Parking – please park on the street in front of the house, to allow accessto our personal garage.

• I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone that might not yet be ready for lessons due to

age, maturity or health related issues. I will not teach those who show disrespect towards any

individual or property, do not represent the studio or themselves in a professional manner or

those who do honor or respect my policies.

PRACTICE EXPECTATIONS



• If there is a lack of progress, there is probably a lack of practice! A student’s progress is

determined by dedicated practice, not by simply attending lessons. Ideally, students should

practice 4-5 days a week. Specific amounts of practice time are not assigned to each student.

Instead, students should practice long enough to complete their weekly assignments.

• The quality of practice time is more important than the quantity of practice time.

• Parental Support is an extremely important factor in musical training. Students whose parents

take an active role in their progress tend to be more enthusiastic and productive. Create a quiet

space where the student can practice and schedule a time for practice each day.

CANCELLATION POLICIES

Cancellation by Student

• The studio has a strict 24 hours’ notice for cancellations.

• If a student is a “no-show” or if a lesson is cancelled by the student with less than 24-hours 

notice, the lesson will be forfeited and the tuition will not be refunded for the missed lesson.

• Students are allowed to reschedule ONE lesson per month in the event of illness, family 

emergency or school events. Please notify me by 12pm if you cannot attend. Students who are 

mildly ill must attend the lesson online during their scheduled time. We will use the time to 

work on music theory (Ex: vocal diction, ear training, music reading, repertoire and audition 

consultation). 

• If the student misses more than 2 lessons in a 4-week period without advance notice, I reserve 

the right to drop the student. It is not possible to make progress if the student is missing lessons 

excessively.

If the student arrives to an in-person lesson while sick, this will be considered a cancellation 

without 24 hours' notice.

Cancellation by Teacher

If I am forced to cancel a scheduled lesson for any reason, I will provide notice and I will make up 

the lesson at the nearest available time.
