Lesson Make-ups and Cancelation

1. There is no refund for missed lessons: missed lessons can be rescheduled due to illness and family emergency if a notice is given a day (24 hours) before the lesson.

2. It is the responsibility of the students and parents to ensure consistent attendance to persist on learning a challenging subject, though flexibility can be considered on individual cases.

3. If the teacher has an emergency and needs to cancel lessons, missed lessons will be made up based on mutual availability.

4. Excessive excuses from lesson (more than 3 times per term) may result in discontinuing services from the studio.

5. The teacher held the right to discontinuing lesson at any time if the student and/or parents are not committed during the learning process.

Leveling exams

1. Leveling exams can provide a concreate structure in student’s learning and provide the child with a sense of fulfillment, but just like competitions, it might not be for every child.

2. I am equipped to prepare the students with ABRSM exams upon request/ necessity.

Performances and Masterclasses

1. Each quarter there will be multiple performance opportunities for all to participate.

2. When I sense the student is ready for competition/festival performance, I will initiate opportunities to the parent.

3. Please stay for the entire program even after the student is done playing. A recital is not only a presentation for each student, but a time to support your fellow classmates and build community.

Lesson Etiquette

1. Young children (5-8) are advised to keep one piano notebook with them during each lesson, and follow the specific instructions listed by the teacher for practice guidance. Children above 9 should take notes right after each lesson by themselves.

2. Practicing at home is an important component of learning an instrument.

-Beginning level : 20 min+ 5 days per week

-Intermediate Level: 45 min+ 5 days per week

1. Please be on time for your lessons.

2. Parents are encouraged to accompany minors into the studio and observe the lesson as well as taking notes. Parents are advised to record/video tape the student’s lesson for young students, to assist student with home practice, to ensure that they can follow instructions.
