Studio Policies:
Please read carefully as these policies state how my studio and teaching time is structured.
Please read all Covid-19 policies, information and sign waivers for the 2020 / 2021 sessions
My goals for the year are:
My expectations are:
My music teachers encouraged and supported me and taught me important life skills. It was my personal choice much later in life to make music into a career. Every student is different, but everyone will learn something if they try.
My main objective for a performance is to help students develop life skills! We all need to deal with the pressure, nerves, the public and the ups and downs of being in the spotlight every once in a while. This skill is transferable to many other situations. Again, I’d like to see students try!!
I offer the option of taking music exams in voice, piano and theory through the Conservatory Canada and the Royal Conservatory of Canada Curriculum. Both programs have different options for the exam path.
The Cariboo and the Shushwap Music Festival as well as the Vernon Registered Music Teachers' Music Festival offer opportunities for students to perform and compete and to work towards a goal. I encourage students to participate but will never pressure anyone into doing so.
Invoicing and payment:
Invoices are emailed at the end of each teaching month and payment is due in full upon receipt of the invoice.
There is an option to set up auto-payment through the student portal.
Cancellation notice is 24 hours. There will be a regular charge for insufficient notice. I do not charge in case of emergencies or sickness. Please call, text or e-mail me and let me know.
Termination of lessons requires ONE month notice, or payment of ONE monthly fee.
Students are expected to practice. The more time is spent practicing the greater the improvement. I will explain to each student how to practice during the lessons. Parents need to help younger students.
I enter students in competitions and organize recitals and performances. Pictures can be taken according to the event rules only.
I do post pictures on my website, Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin occasionally and I am asking permission from you to do so.
I am very careful what I post, but it is social media.
I do not give out private information.
Please let me know if you DO NOT want your child's picture on Social Media
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask. I am looking forward to a musical year.
