Practice

The more you practice, the faster you’ll improve and the more you’ll enjoy your music lessons!

Piano students should try to practice a minimum of 30 minutes each day or 4 hours a week— and more is always better!

Voice students should start with 15 minutes each day and increase to 30 minutes as the voice gains strength.

Purchase of Music

Vocal and piano students will need to purchase music for lessons. Students may buy directly from the teacher or from music stores. Cost of music is in addition to cost of lessons.

 

Recitals and Performances

Students will have the opportunity to showcase their work in a friendly, receptive environment through recitals and “shows.”  Some performances may include guest artists or be in combination with students from other studios. Positive feedback will bring a feeling of accomplishment, and friends and families will enjoy the results of our students’ hard work. There will also be  opportunity for ensembles to perform, and for piano students to gain experience accompanying singers.
