Attendance:
A student must attend approximately 37-38 lessons during the school year. There are two weeks of winter break and one week of spring break throughout the year. The remaining missed lessons must be made up. Saturday is the day for online make up classes.
Practice:
Daily practice for five days of the week is expected. Length of practice will vary based on the student’s level of advancement. It is the parent’s responsibility to schedule and enforce daily practice. The weekly assignments should be viewed as "homework." Completion of homework and thorough preparation of assignments for each lesson is expected.
First class:
My first class is free. It’s usually shorter than regular class and, if a student agrees to continue studying, we make an agreement on homework practice, talk about my class, books and materials needed etc.
Performances:
We have two performances during the School Year - on Christmas (Mid of December) and at the end of the School Year (mid of June).
RCM Exams:
In the near future, I plan to find out how to pass the RCM exams. If a student wants to take the RCM exams, they must allocate more time for homework and be able to meet with me twice a week. An acoustic piano is required. It can be an upright or a grand, aesthetically pleasing for the student--(not old, good keys, beautiful tone, etc.)
