Lessons are scheduled from Monday to Friday.
Home
visits are a minimum of 45 minutes.
A
missed lesson does not excuse payment.
There are no credits
or make-up lessons for missed lessons. If a student discontinues, the fee for
that month is non-refundable. All remaining post-dated cheques or the remainder
of the term will be returned.
In the event that
the lesson needs to be cancelled by the teacher, that lesson will be
rescheduled to a mutually agreeable time.

Requisite
Practice Habits for Optimal Musical Development
A set daily routine
is most productive. Set aside a time of day, everyday, and stick to that time.
Seven days a week is
better than five, so a different weekend routine may be in order.
The duration of a
practice session should be not less than 15 minutes. A half-hour is best.
For more advanced
students up to one hour per day is recommended.
A
helpful breakdown of a typical half-hour practice session:
Warm-ups
(exercises, scales etc.)
.
10 minutes
Songs
and Pieces
.
.
.
15 minutes
Free
time (review, fun songs, improv. etc.)
5+ minutes
Theory.
..
.depends
on assignment and is separate from practice time
