Parents are invited and always welcome at lessons.
Weekly Piano Home Plans will be developed at lesson and emailed to parents. Parents are to print the Home Plan out, and make sure students are READING and following the plan each practice. This is required.
Praise your student for each success, and acknowledge each effort.
Please provide a good instrument and have it regularly tuned and maintained.
Assist your student in setting a regular, daily practice time and sticking to it. Practice time is reserved for the student, away from distractions (TV, video games, etc) or interruptions.
Assist your student in regular attendance at lessons and all studio events.
Parents can assist students at home, even if not musically trained. Going over assignments to help students follow instructions listed for their songs and assignments, listening to practice (even from a short distance away), flashcard practice, and helping students clap rhythms, sing, or check off their practices will help the student be successful.
Have your student perform at every opportunity, especially for you, relatives, friends, neighbors, and the family pet!
