STUDIO POLICIES
Attendance & Punctuality
Consistent attendance helps students feel grounded, confident, and eager to celebrate their progress. Please allow adequate travel time so we can begin individual and group sessions right on schedule.
In-person learning provides the richest musical experience. Online lessons via Google Meet are available when a student or family member is feeling unwell, but are not intended as a substitute for routine scheduling convenience.
Parent Involvement
The Suzuki Approach relies on a strong, supportive partnership: the Suzuki Triangle of student, parent, and teacher. As a parent or supporting adult, your active involvement is the heart of your child's musical development. This includes attending lessons, taking helpful notes, and guiding home practice. You are never on this path alone—I am here to coach and support both you and your young musician every step of the way.
Rescheduling & Missed Lessons
Your weekly lesson time is reserved exclusively for your student. While family schedules change and conflicts arise, routine missed lessons cannot be rescheduled or refunded. If you know in advance that your student will be absent, providing as much notice as possible is greatly appreciated.
Unexpected Emergencies: In the event of a sudden illness or emergency, I will make every effort to offer a makeup option within that same week if studio availability permits. If an opening is not available, the lesson will be forfeited.
Teacher Absences: If I must cancel a lesson due to an emergency, you will be notified immediately, and the session will be made up during our dedicated Make-Up Week at the end of the semester.
Unannounced Absences: Lessons missed without prior notice cannot be made up or rescheduled.
Lesson Options
Individual lessons are scheduled weekly and structured by age and proficiency:
30 minutes: Pre-Twinkle through Book 1
45 minutes: Book 2 through Book 3
60 minutes: Book 4 and above
Group Classes
Group learning is an essential and inspiring element of the Suzuki Approach. Students learn to listen, collaborate, and build community together. Classes meet weekly for 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on level. Parents are warmly encouraged to observe and take notes to help bridge group concepts into daily home practice.
The POD (Ages 3–4)
Designed specifically for our youngest musicians, the POD introduces music in a dynamic, social environment. Each three-student cohort meets weekly for a structured session that includes:
A 15-minute individual lesson
30 minutes of peer observation (observing two 15-minute lessons)
A 15-minute interactive group class
