Frequently Asked Questions

​

1. Do you take young students i.e. 4-5 years old?

Yes, we love young beginners. We believe that setting a proper foundation in the beginning and at a young age pay dividends in the future. As with most things in life, starting off on the right foot helps!

​

2. How much are students expected to practice?

Generally, students taking 30-min lessons should practice at least 30-mins everyday, 45-min lessons 1-1.5hrs and 60-min lessons 1.5hrs+.

 

3. What are the expectations for parents? 

Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's practice as well as the lessons. All children need help with discipline. Supervision of practice may be necessary. Students and parents both need to be accountable for consistent, quality practice.
