We regret that we cannot offer a future tuition credit for missed lessons, due to the fact that our studio has grown; however, we will work with you in a friendly Christian manner in order to re-schedule a day for the purposes of make-up lessons. Please realize that we may not always be able to accomodate students requests for make-up lessons, due to the size of our studio roster.

The standard duration for a lesson is 30 minutes. If a student cannot be on time for the lesson, please notify Ms. Deedle (301 722-8275) or Ms. Linda (301 322-1645). The lesson will be given, based on the time that remains in the 30 minute session.....the reason being, that our schedule is very busy. Of course, we will continue to be diligent about our own timeliness.

It is mandatory that all students retain and use the music reading and notation skills that are taught in the Studio. There is a difference between "Playing by ear" and "ear Training".

Note: A person who "plays by ear" may or may not know how to read music, but "ear training" in conjunction with leanrning how to read musical notes and understanding musical concepts are the goals of our program. "Playing by ear" (alone), is considered a hindrance to developing musical reading skills.

The polish and discipline associated with recital performance is a vital part of the music students development. We have had pride in past recital performances and plan to schedule one in the spring and one during the Christmas season of each year. Our recitals are special events, so we ask that each student provide the names of all their guests that will attend each of the recitals.

The Studio frequently had panics music based on the unique personality and styule of a specific student. If the student misplaces the music that has been provided, the student is responsible for replacing that music.
