Missed Lessons

Cancellations or rescheduling should be made 24 in advance or the lesson will be charged.  Keep in mind that last minute cancellations prevent me from filling the lesson time with another potential rescheduled lesson.


Rescheduling 

If a lesson is cancelled, that slot will be made open to others.  Please check the online calendar through your MyMusicStaff portal if you have a conflict and need to reschedule your lesson. 


Online Lessons 

Digital lessons are a good option for inclement weather, transportation issues, and illness.

Illness

The piano and commonly touched surfaces will be wiped down at the end of each day.  Students should use hand sanitizer or wash hands before their lesson.  Should a student catch a cold or a member of their household have a more serious illness, I will happily switch to an online lesson.  

Practice Expectations

Piano lessons are just the beginning—consistent home practice is where real progress happens.


While attending weekly lessons is important, becoming a confident and capable pianist requires regular, focused practice at home—typically 1.5 to 4 hours per week. In lessons, I work to educate, encourage, and equip students with the tools they need to succeed, but building lasting skills depends on what happens between lessons.


For parents, your support at home—whether through helping set a routine, providing encouragement, or simply checking in—can make a significant difference. Students who practice regularly experience steady progress, greater confidence, and a more rewarding experience overall.


However, when practice is consistently neglected, improvement slows, lessons become less engaging, and motivation can quickly fade.


Thank you for being an essential part of your child’s progress—not just in music, but in cultivating valuable life skills like discipline, focus, and perseverance.

Home Equipment

Students are more motivated to practice—and make better progress—when they have a quality instrument in a quiet space at home.


An acoustic piano is ideal. If that’s not possible, a full-length digital piano with weighted keys and a sustain pedal is acceptable.


A metronome (or metronome app) is also required to support rhythm and timing skills.
