Skype, Facetime, and the telephone are becoming very useful tools for teaching
students who cannot make it to a lesson due to illness, weather, etc. If you have a
computer, smart phone, or tablet please create a free Skype account and add my
name to your contacts or Apple users may Facetime using my studio phone number.
This will allow me to call you and have a lesson with you over the internet if need be.
My Skype user name is "ericaspianostudio".
In addition, students may trade their lesson time with another student (Lesson Swap)
to help avoid absences. Please use these rules to make sure swaps go smoothly:
I must be informed as soon as possible after swap arrangements have been
made.
Should 2 students arrive at the same time, I will teach the one whose lesson is
normally at that time.
Please inform me if you do not wish to have your name and contact information
included on the swap list.
If you are unable to find someone to swap with you, please see above for
Phone, FaceTime, or Skype lessons during the students regular lesson time.
Please feel free to contact me via email, phone or text for any questions or concerns! If you
need to miss a lesson, please notify me as soon as possible. I appreciate your
communication!
Regular practice is imperative to learn how to play proficiently. A minimum of 30 minutes of
practice, 5 days a week is required. (This requirement may be lower for early beginning
students.) Participation in the spring and winter recitals is required, but festivals and
competitions are optional.
If for any reason you must stop lessons, one months notice is requested. At that time, I will
pro-rate the tuition for your final month to reflect the number of lessons that you have received
based on the last lesson date.
Pictures of my students may be posted on my studio website or included in studio publications
with no names attached unless specifically requested not to do so by the parents.
The student is required to have a full-sized digital or acoustic piano with damper pedal. If you
choose digital, the keys should be weighted to ensure adequate finger strengthening. Please
feel free to ask if you would like assistance in choosing a piano!
I hope you find this information helpful as you make your decision about piano lessons. If
you are interested in scheduling piano lessons, please fill out the enclosed enrollment form and
return it to me.
Thank you!!
