Important Information For Parents and Students
♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫
Attendance
Lessons are held at my home in my music studio. Your lesson begins
at the set scheduled time. For example, if the lesson is scheduled from 3:00 to
3:30 and you arrive at 3:10, the lesson will still end at 3:30. If you’re
unable to make it to the scheduled lesson, please call me ahead of time,
and I’ll be more than happy to reschedule for that week, or credit payment
towards the next month of lessons. When the student is a “no-show” for the
lesson and no prior notice has been given, I will not reschedule or credit
payment for the following month. Consistent attendance is a huge factor in the
success of the student!
Payment
Payment for lessons is due on the first week of the month ($52 per
student, per month). Checks need to be
made out to Amy Johnson. You may pay electronically via paypal, using the email
address aejonsn8@gmail.com. When you know ahead of time that you’ll need to miss a week, I’ll
prorate that month’s payment for you.
Practicing
at home
Each week your student will go home with a list of practice
assignments and tips. Some weeks there may be only one exercise, while other
weeks they may have several songs. We go over these in the lesson, and the
student is then expected to do these assignments at home. A good rule of thumb
for the beginner student is to have them play each assignment 3 times per day.
This should only take them a few minutes. If the student is confused about a
song or exercise, have them call me!
Passing
off songs
You can measure your student’s progress by the songs they’re
“passing off”. When the student is given a new song, it’s reviewed in the
lesson and expected to be practiced at home. During the lesson the following
week, they’ll play the song for me. When the student can play the song without
any cues, hints, or corrections from me, it’s “passed off” and they are not
expected to practice it anymore. Beginners should be able to pass off assigned
songs nearly every week, while more advanced students may have a song for two
months.
