Come prepared, on time, and with all the lesson materials.

Regular attendance is expected. Unexcused absences will not be made up and will be included in the monthly tuition fee. Excused absences are a death in the family or severe sickness. In the event of an excused absence, call me at least one day (24 hours) in advance and I will reschedule as my time permits.

Practice! Part of being prepared for a lesson is the accomplishment of goals. This only happens with daily practice. The amount of practice time expected, which can range from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depends on the level of the student.

If you have a question about an assignment during the week, please call me. I will be happy to answer your question over the phone. If the student is unable to reach me for any reason, he or she should write down his or her question and bring it to the following lesson.

Take advantage of performance opportunities.

Do your best.

Enjoy learning.
