The
goals I have for teaching is that each student learn to play with
confidence and mastery, enjoy their instrument, and learn to glorify
God with music. To help accomplish these goals, students will learn
theory, sight reading, ear training, and repertoire from the Oregon
Music Teachers Association Syllabus curriculum. Along with these
goals, students are invited to participate in events sponsored by the
Oregon Music Teachers Association. These events include Syllabus
adjudications, music festivals covering the different periods, music
composition celebrations, and an ensemble festival.
Student
Requirements
Students
are required to practice their lessons for at least one half hour,
five days a week. Extra practice beyond the requirement is beneficial
and will yield even greater results. Students will need to bring
their books and be well prepared for their lesson at the assigned
hour. If the lesson time is not convenient, it can be rescheduled to
another time or day.
Payment and Cancellation Policy
The
payment for lessons are due weekly at the end of each lesson. Books
and other resources or events are in addition to the lesson fee.
Twenty-four hours notice is required when students are unable to keep
the lesson appointment.
If no notice is given, the fee will still be charged for that day.
Studio
Assessment
Lessons
may be permanently canceled by either party. However, if there are
any questions or concerns, I will be glad to discuss them. Comments
and questions from parents and students will help me improve my
teaching.
