Parents are strongly recommended to attend each
private lesson. Your child’s
progress is directly related to your involvement.
Lessons are scheduled according to each teacher. Please be attentive to
the time your child is scheduled.

a mutually convenient time. Lessons cancelled by student will be
made up only at the teacher’s
option. Teachers will follow the holiday schedule of public schools.
Lessons falling on holidays will not be made up and no adjustment
will be made in
tuition. If you must cancel a lesson, please contact the teacher at
least 6 hours prior to the lesson.

Practice Policy
Listening skills are essential to the child’s
musical development, so the Suzuki tape (purchased with the lesson
book) should be played everyday.
In the car or before bedtime are excellent times to listen.
At the beginning, it is good to practice 15 minutes
a day and with the parent’s
help. Students are expected to add 15 minutes of practice for every
year a child has taken lessons.
Here is a sample practice schedule for students:
1. Begin with review
2. Work on technique
3. Do the reading assignment if your child is working on note reading
4. Work on new Suzuki material
5. End with review
New Feature!
We are adding Saturday Master classes! Master classes
are designed to enhance your child’s musical aptitude and encourage
good practice habits.
