MY RESPONSIBILITIES
I will teach students the building blocks of music in vibrant and fun online lessons. The specific interests, needs, and goals of each student will inform the curriculum and repertoire. I will strive to equip students with the musical tools for longterm musical enjoyment and growth.
STUDENT & FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES
Students agree to digitally “arrive” at each lesson punctually; having practiced; and with their instruments, musical materials, and physical surroundings well-organized for remote learning. To make consistent progress, daily quality practice is necessary. Students or parents should ask any questions necessary to completely understand assignments and goals and should establish a consistent set-up for remote lessons. Feel free to ask any questions regarding the best layout or approach for optimizing the online setting.
Parents: If something is happening at home or school that is affecting your child, please let me know. The more information I have, the more I can be sensitive to the needs of each student.
Playing music with different people and in different settings is fun! If some form of additional musical or performance opportunity arises, please inform me as soon as possible so that I can assist in any musical preparations.
Students must own or have access to appropriate instruments. Selecting and purchasing musical instruments can be complicated. If you have questions or would like input on the purchase of an instrument, please let me know. I am happy to offer advice and to be digitally involved in the testing or researching of prospective instruments.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours notice will not be provided a makeup lesson. Lessons canceled with 24 hours notice will be credited a makeup lesson for that month.
[But don't worry! I will always do my best to find additional, alternative makeup solutions if necessary :).]
MUSIC & MATERIALS
Students will use a mixture of purchased and free (public domain) music and materials.
Each student is responsible for purchasing or acquiring the required music and materials for lessons. Materials will be assigned by me and the student will be expected to have the materials no later than two weeks after the materials have been assigned. I will provide the appropriate link for accessing any necessary free materials. Advanced notice will be provided whenever possible.
