Homework
4+ hours per week. I'll give students something to practice for the next lesson each time we meet. How long it takes really depends on the student's level of playing, what they are learning, and how fast they want to progress. 1 hour, 5 days a week is the minimum I suggest to see improvement. Every student is different and it's normal to take time and effort to master a new skill. I do my best to encourage my students along the way!Assessment
If a student chooses to sign up for continuous lessons, I evaluate them based on individual improvement. Each lesson, I will give students skills to practice for the next lesson. Once a student has mastered a skill, I'll teach them what's next. I ask my students to practice consistently in order to improve. If a student practices but isn't able to master a new skill in a week, that is completely okay and normal. In music, everyone has skills that come more easily to them or that are more difficult for them. This is the advantage of individual lessons, each student get's to move at their own pace! For parents, if you have a student who needs accountability and would like to receive assessments from me on their progress (if they are practicing, etc.), please let me know and I am happy to do so! I can't force students to practice, but I'm happy to establish good communication with parents to help my students succeed.Class Experience
