Studio Lesson Guidelines

Everyone attending lessons is expected to follow these guidelines.

Students should arrive no more than five (5) minutes before their assigned lesson time.

Upon arrival students should knock on the door, enter and wait quietly for their lesson.
Please wipe your feet with the rug provided on the front porch. If your shoes are dirty and/or wet, please remove them after entering and place them on the mat near the door.
Coats should be placed on one of the pink chairs.
Have music and any other assigned materials out. Students are expected to bring all assigned materials to every lesson. A bag reserved only for music lessons is a great way to keep all materials together.
Violin/viola students should place their instrument case on the coffee table and have their instrument out so it is ready for the lesson.

Please park in the driveway if everyone in the vehicle will be attending the lesson.
Those who drop off or pick up students may temporarily park near the mailbox. Students are able to see the mailbox from the studio window. Most of my driveway cannot be seen from the studio window.
Please put all cell phones on vibrate. Students should not be using cell phones unless it is directly related to material covered during their lesson time. Those who accompany students to lessons are asked to put their phone on vibrate and step out if they need to accept a call.
Lessons must begin and end at their assigned time.
Parents are encouraged to attend lessons. Please state concerns and/or ask questions as needed during the lesson.
Those who accompany a student to a lesson shall not create distractions that interrupt the lesson unnecessarily. Such distractions are unfair to the student.
The bathroom in my home is only for student use in an emergency.
Students should be picked up no more than five (5) minutes after their lesson.
Please do not bring any food or drink into my home. This includes chewing gum and candy.
Students and their guests should not wander around my home or yard. This is to prevent unnecessary distractions and interruptions during lessons. Your teacher will not accept responsibility for any injury that results from students or their guests wandering around her property.
