MISSED LESSONS

• Lessons will be held every day that school is in session, unless cancelled by instructor or school event. If we teachers, or weather, etc, causes a lesson to be cancelled, it will not be "counted" against your lesson total.

• If student cannot make a lesson they must notify their instructor 24 hours in advance or lesson will be counted as an absence. This is standard practice for private music lessons and other similar industries.

• As you know, we really try to be as flexible as possible! 

• If you let us know in advance, we can adjust our schedules, perhaps slide in another student who wants a make-up or more minutes, prepare to eat lunch, etc., and we are very grateful for the communication.

• Make-up lessons, in many cases will not be necessary, and we aren't always able to find a spot in the schedule for them. Just come to your next lesson next week.

• In some instances, like half days for ex, we will try to reschedule an entire afternoon. If you can't make an altered time, just let us know, no problem. 

• We know one class per week isn't much, and we do our best to make sure students get their weekly lessons.

HW / PRACTICE EXPECTATIONS

• Students are expected to prepare for lessons by maintaining a daily practice routine of equal or greater length than the lesson.

• We don't make you good; you make you good. 

• With proper and consistent practice habits, students will get the maximum return.

• Proper Practice Promotes Progress.

MISSION
While music is the subject of our mutual interest, the SoundWaves program is about more than merely hittin' the right notes. We aim to best meet our individual students' needs and provide opportunities them grow -- musically, verbally, socially, in faith, in confidence, in self-esteem, in work habits and to understand how they can be empowered to affect their own destiny. 


Thanks very much, we will do our best to set you up with the most excellent lesson setting!
