Practical matters

• Lesson Format: Each lesson lasts 45 minutes and meets once a week.

• Practice Requirements: Students need access to a piano or keyboard (with full-size keys and 4–5 octaves) between classes. Daily practice is essential to ensure steady progress.

• Get Started: Beginners are offered a free introductory lesson prior to registration.

• Parental attendance: Parents/caregivers are welcome to attend weekly classes with their children. 

Tips for Parents & Caregivers

• No Music Background Required: You do not need any prior musical knowledge or training to participate.

• Maintain an Active Interest: Showing enthusiasm and delight in the learning process fosters a reciprocal love of learning in your child. 

• Practice Collaborative Learning: View yourself as a collaborator, which fosters your child's growth and your own connection to the child. 

• Make-up lessons: At the teacher’s discretion the child may be offered a make-up lesson if needed (usually reserved for emergencies or advance notice)

Auditions and Recitals:

• After one year of studies students are encouraged to take part in National Guild Auditions. These are non-competitive individual evaluations rather than head-to-head competitions. An external judge provides a report card, certificate, and pin based on accuracy, technique, and interpretation. 

• All students are offered an opportunity to participate in a Spring recital. This is a separate, studio-wide performance opportunity offered to all students to showcase their music in front of family and friends.
