WASH HANDS BEFORE LESSONS PLEASE👏🧼

WEEKLY: Lessons are held every week for 30-minute sessions. All students are expected to prepare and practice for each session while at home. Minimum enrollment length is 6 months, however most students stay enrolled for 2-5 years. All students are expected to have a piano (88 fully weighted keys) by the start of their 2nd month. Order here through The Piano Studio and receive many additional perks! Every purchase helps support our classroom & recitals. 

PRACTICE: Try to place your piano in a living area of the home, and express joy each time the student plays through their songs for you. Facetime grandparents, invite them to play for guests, neighbors, and friends.A minimum of 15-20 minutes for 3 days is mandatory for each week. This time may be expanded by the teacher based on the student’s level of performance. If you're still having trouble encouraging practice, try something like this, "Would you like to scrub the bathroom, or practice piano?"

MAKE-UP CLASSES: If you need to miss a class, Bonus classes may be scheduled in the Parent Portal. Do not exceed 1 every 2 months please.  No show or no text, make up class will not be honored, If your lesson time is missed and/or no show after 2 weeks, student's reserved time slot will be cancelled and will have to re-register. Make-up classes may not be stored and used later as a credit. Not to exceed 1 Makeup lesson every 2 months.

ROLAND PIANO PURCHASE: All sales are final and the pianos are covered by a 3 or 10 year parts and labor warranty. 

PAUSE/CANCELLATION OF MONTHLY LESSONS:  At least a 2-week written notice (text is fine) prior to the next tuition billing cycle must be given to the teacher. 6 month minimum enrollment. Studio will not prorate a mid-month cancellation. However in rare cases a credit will be held on file. Example: family emergency, serious illness.Every effort will be made to retain all students. Most often when a student pause/cancels piano lessons, it is avoidable and due to not having a piano yet. Please ask for assistance to find a piano in your budget.

HOLIDAYS AND VACATION: The Piano Studio will be closed on a similar schedule as the Carlsbad unified school calendar. Makeups are not offered for holidays, or student's personal vacation time. Closures posted in the Parent Portal.
