STUDIO
POLICY by Laurel
Gibson
First of all, I LOVE TEACHING! It's great
that God gave me something that I can share with anyone who wants to
learn...Music is one of the greatest gifts we can enjoy, and
everyone benefits from Music Lessons. The student learns
cooperation, coordination, builds self-esteem, motor skills, a sense
of accomplishment, responsibility, left and right-brain crossover,
concentration, memory, and then there's the MUSIC! We learn
history, social studies, math, reading, problem solving, foreign
language, performance in front of others, relaxation techniques, and
APPRECIATION.
In order for all this to be accomplished, we must
have a real commitment to ATTENDANCE. I know that everyone
gets sick, or we all get to take a trip once in a while. We
carry such a full schedule that it is sometimes impossible to find a
spot for either of us to do a make-up lesson - although we
try. That's why I'm happy to have our Group Ensemble
Rehearsals and Recitals . This gives every
student a chance to re-enforce the lessons they have already had,
and to cover materials that aren't usually found in their
lesson books. These Workshops are included in your monthly
lesson fee, and count as 2 make-up lessons, as they are twice as
long.
There will be Recitals, Workshops, Music Camps,
Music Parties, Contests, Competitions, and opportunities to sing
and play for your church or school, not to mention family
functions. All Tuition, Instrument Rental, and
Materials and Lab fees should be paid in advance by the first
lesson of each month . Monthly fees will include any "5th"
lesson, free. Music books or sheets should be included in the
next month's check. It can really add up with 50 students
getting Christmas books, for example! I keep records
of attendance, and payments, but have been known to make a
mistake once in a while...I appreciate your candid comments and
opinions. If you have any questions, or would like to help
with some of our functions, please call me!
