Preparation
I expect my students to come to lessons prepared. This means following directions that I have given during the previous lesson and practicing for at least 5 days during the week. Length of time per practice session will depend on a student’s level of experience. Beginners should expect to practice between 10-20 minutes per practice day. This amount of time will lengthen up to an hour with several years of lessons. Advanced students should expect several practice sessions a day. This amount of time is an estimate based on the amount of music assigned and time required to master a piece or technique.
Attitude
Please come to lessons with a positive attitude. That is the best advantage you can give yourself when learning new music and techniques.
