Together we will help your child gain a mastery of the piano! Feel free to bring any concerns you have to me!) Your job is to provide the opportunity, the structure, and the equipment (see below) and the positive reinforcement. Leave the instruction and criticism to me (I won't criticize, either, but please let me be the one to give correctional feedback. Your child most needs your encouragement.If you're not sure how to do this without being a nag, ask me for ideas - I have lots! Please help your student set up a daily practice routine. You are also welcome to record any parts of the lesson you want in order to ensure understanding at home. Parents are always welcome to attend the lesson along with the student, though (except in the case of very young students) it is not required.Access a pre-recorded video lesson on a topic of interest.If you request it before your lesson, I will prepare a customized video lesson during the time I would normally spend with you and send it to you to watch at your convenience. You may record yourself/student playing your assigned pieces and either text/email me or upload them to the student portal for my review and feedback.Contact information can be found in the student portal. You may contact another studio parent and ask to swap lesson times (please let me know, too, so I'm prepared in the event of partner overlap lessons).In the event you must miss a lesson, you have a few options for making it up: See the "What happens if I have to miss a lesson?" section below for options if you must be absent. Tuition will not be adjusted for skipped lessons. Only Festival and Guild fees (optional) will be billed separately. Tuition is all-inclusive and covers all books, subscriptions, my time at Festival and Guild, recitals, 36 lessons, and occasional additional events such as jam sessions, extra ensemble rehearsals, and performance parties. Additional topics covered include Improvisation Explorations, Star Songs, and Listening in Color. Concepts covered in the 30-45 minute weekly lessons are Aural skills, Technique, Rhythm and Theory. STUDENTS 3-5 (Mini Musicians Program): The Mini Musicians Program group class is designed for students not yet in school, ages 3-5 and is an excellent introduction to musical concepts to prepare them for regular lessons when they are ready. As often as possible, I pair students of similar age and level together in an hour and split the time 20/20/20 in order to facilitate ensemble work and studying theory, composition, scales and basics in a much more engaging way (20 minutes private instruction for individual repertoire, 20 minutes buddy instruction for technical skills, theory, duets and rhythm work, and 20 minutes lab/off bench time which delves deeper into theory, ear training, sight reading, composition, listening/responding, etc.). STUDENTS 5 AND UP: Lessons are offered in my home studio or online and vary between 30-60 minutes in length.
