Parents are invited and always welcome at lessons!
Weekly Piano Home Plans will be developed at the lesson and emailed to parents. Parents are to print the Home Plan out and make sure students are READING and following the plan at each practice. This is required.
Praise your student for each success, and acknowledge each effort.
Please provide a good instrument and have it tuned and maintained regularly.
Help your student set a regular daily practice time and stick to it. Practice time is reserved for the student, away from distractions (TV, video games, etc) or interruptions.
Help your student attend lessons and all studio events regularly.
Parents can assist students at home, even if not musically trained. Review assignments to help students follow instructions for their songs and assignments, listen to practice (even from a short distance away), do flashcard practice, and help students clap rhythms, sing, or check off their practice to help them succeed.
Have your student perform at every opportunity, especially for you, relatives, friends, neighbors, and the family pet!
Parents will regularly receive further tips and information throughout the year.
