V. Expectations for the Student
Arrive to class prepared. You must practice during the week and complete all assignments.
Have your instrument out and ready, tuned, bow rosined and folder ready.
Attitude is everything! Come willing to learn, be kind to others, respect instructors by not talking or being disruptive in class.
If you have a question, ask.
Keep practicing even if you miss a class. Unless you are playing everything perfectly there is ALWAYS room for improvement.
VI. Expectations for the Parent
Parents are encouraged to attend classes. Observe to the best of your ability so you can guide your child at home during the week when the teacher is not present.
Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before class. Violin should be out and tuned, bow should be rosined and folder handy.
Violin and Harp are named the two hardest instruments to learn in the entire world! Your child will need lots of encouragement in two ways: Praise her progress (even on those rough days) and allow for adequate practice time. Violin is a “muscle memory” instrument. You must practice consistently.
