Tuition and Attendance

• The teacher will make a (next steps) video during the students missed lesson time for excused absences. 

Performances and Recitals
Adjudications and public performances are an important part of learning to play piano or sing. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in studio events, group classes, Piano Guild Auditions, and the Spring Recital. Festivals and competition participation can be decided based on the teacher’s and parent’s recommendations for each student.
