Assuring your child’s success in piano education.

Successful and satisfying piano study is dependent upon correct and consistent practice habits. In order for students, and the teacher to experience success, the following are my recommendations:

· Arrange a set time every day for your child practice and insist on it being kept;

· Provide a practice setting free from distractions, (sibling, TV, etc);

· Check on your child’s practice progress during the week;

· Make sure your child brings all of the correct music and materials to the lessons;

· Make sure your child finishes all assignment and is prepared for each lesson;

· Arrive on time for all lessons and events;

· Keep your child’s nails clipped short.

Recitals, Competitions, Festivals, and Theory Tests

Recitals are held ones per year. Competitions, festivals, and theory tests are offered through out the year by music teacher association. Participation in these events are strongly recommended but not forced as they will increase student’s confidence and ability to perform in front of an audience, and is an integral part of music education. The Picture will be taking and may be posted on my web side: www.pianogl.com (if you, for some, reasons feel uncomfortable, please let me know) There are will be additional fee for these activities.
