The following are the responsibilities I expect each student to assume.
The student will:
• Arrive at each scheduled lesson on time with all of the required materials;
• Arrive at each lesson well prepared, having practiced the previously assigned passages;
• Arrive at each lesson ready to learn and ask questions with a positive attitude; and
• Perform in a public or semi-public venue at least once annually to celebrate his or her achievement;
• Notify Mrs. Anderson in the event that he or she will be absent for a scheduled lesson.
Not all students will have an accompanying parent. However, in those cases, these are the obligations I assume each parent will willingly undertake.
The parent(s) will:
• Provide contact information;
• Provide any necessary timely transportation;
• Provide any necessary instrument and materials in a prompt fashion within reason;
• Provide a conducive home environment for individual practice, i.e. remove as many distractions as possible;
• Provide positive, encouraging support;
• Freely address any concerns or questions to me for immediate resolution.
