Practice
Regular practice for a certain period of time most days of the week is crucial to progressing. Students who don’t get enough practice are constantly frustrated, unconfident, and usually end up giving up on piano.
Optimal Practice Expectations: Students should practice at least 5 days per week. Beginning students should practice 10 - 20 minutes per day. Intermediate students should practice 20 - 40 minutes per day. Advanced students should practice 40 - 60 minutes per day.
If, after a few conversations with parents and students, the student is consistently unprepared, they may be asked to discontinue lessons.
Make-Up Lessons
We know that life gets busy and that occasional conflicts or illnesses are unavoidable. Because each student's lesson time is reserved just for them, we do not offer makeup lessons for missed lessons. This policy allows us to maintain a consistent teaching schedule and provide the best experience for all of our students. If the teachers ever need to cancel a lesson due to illness or unexpected circumstance, we will happily provide a makeup lesson.
Please do not send your child to lessons if they are contagiously ill.
Behavior Policy
We are committed to creating a positive, respectful, and empowering learning experience for every student. If repeated disruptive behavior interferes with effective teaching or learning, Blue House Studio reserves the right to discontinue lessons.
