Cancellation Policy
Please give 24 hours notice of cancelled lessons. I will also do the same to let you know if I am unavailable. There is no charge for lessons cancelled 24 hours in advance. If the lesson is paid by credit/debit or invoice, your payment will be credited towards your next lesson.
If an emergency arises, please call me immediately and we can discuss next actions.
Lessons missed without 24 hour notice will be charged for the lesson.
I will do my best to reschedule missed lessons, but depending on the schedule, this may not be possible.
Books & Materials
All repertoire required for lessons will be offered from the studio or you can purchase them online. Mr. De Veyra will communicate what specific books your student will need for their lessons.
Student Expectations
Be prepared for lessons by practicing at home between lessons and bring all necessary materials to all lessons.
Keep fingernails trimmed; they should not extend past the end of the finger.
Always bring a pencil to write notes in your music.
Pay attention to the advice that is given by the teacher.
Ask questions and always try your best!
Teacher Expectations
Be prepared for lessons by keeping notes from each lesson.
Start lessons on time and teach for the entire allotted amount of the lesson time.
Plan material appropriate for the level of the student.
Communicate with parents and students about private lesson studio policies, cancellations, and payments.
Parent Expectations
Parents are always welcome to attend lessons, especially the first lesson. Parents of younger students are encouraged to attend the lessons.
Provide a quiet space for home practice that includes a music stand, tuner metronome, mirror, and good lighting. Standing for practice is suggested to encourage the best posture.
Encourage your student to schedule daily practice time. It does not need to be at one time and can be broken up during the day.
Monitor and support younger students to make sure they are practicing at home.
