- If a make-up lesson is missed, no other time will be offered.
- If our instructor cancels a lesson, we provide a make-up time. This does not count against your limit of 2, as above.

Books & Supplies:
Students must bring all music books and a notebook to each lesson.
Practice Routines:
The amount of practice time varies for each student and their current level. As a general guideline, a beginner student needs to aim for 10-15 minutes DAILY and, as they progress the time should increase accordingly. And it is always encouraged to do more than the recommended amount.
