Parent Info Hub

Welcome! This page is the quick reference for enrolled families — expectations, key dates, and policy highlights. A full policy document and welcome email are sent after registration.

Studio Expectations

Building great musicianship is a team effort between teacher, student, and parents! Students receive a printed information sheet for their binder covering the day-to-day details.

For Students

  • Practice at least 4 days a week.
  • Take out your practice sheet every day and make your own check marks.
  • Arrive ready: clean hands, trimmed nails, binder, and all your books.
  • Be on time. Lessons begin and end on schedule.
  • Come prepared to try your best, even when a piece gets hard.

For Parents

  • Support a practice routine at home. Younger students often need guidance through the whole session.
  • Sign the practice sheet before each lesson.
  • Send a quick message if you are running late or need to cancel.
  • Reach out any time — practice shouldn’t be a battle, and I’m glad to help. Questions are welcome during or after any lesson.

Policy Highlights

Here are a few important things to know. The full studio policy is shared after registration and available anytime by request.

  • 💳 Payment
    Tuition is due on the 1st of each month (September–June). Invoices are sent automatically a few days in advance.
  • 📚 Books
    Book charges are billed separately and due within 14 days of receipt.
  • ❌ Missed Lessons
    No make-up lessons are offered for missed or cancelled lessons. Your lesson time is reserved just for you.
  • 🕒 Late Arrivals
    Lessons end at the scheduled time. If a student is more than 10 minutes late, the lesson may be cancelled.
  • 📅 Withdrawals
    If you need to discontinue lessons mid-year, one month’s notice is required. A cancellation fee equal to one month’s tuition will apply.
  • 📸 Photo & Video
    I occasionally share photos or short videos on social media. You’ll receive a release form at registration, and participation is optional.
