Studio Policy

Welcome to my cello studio!

 

I look forward to helping your child be the best cellist they can be by tailoring their lessons to each child’s specific level.

​

Here are some policies to be aware of:

  • Lessons are attended weekly as scheduled and if you cancel the lesson, then we can try to find a makeup time for that week. Unless due to illness, family matters or emergencies, any lessons cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson time will still be charged for that lesson.

 

 

  • Be on time and come prepared with music, cello, bow, notebook, rockstop and small chair if necessary.

 

 

Suzuki Books 1-3

 

  • Lessons are 30 minutes a week

  • Weekly practice – 30 minutes a day

  • Assignment Chart (100’s chart) will be provided to the student, achievable assignments will be made, and the parent of the student will make sure that assignments are completed

 

Suzuki Books 4-6

 

  • Lessons are a minimum of 45 minutes (30 minutes does not allow enough time to cover the more challenging and longer repertoire)

  • Weekly practice – Minimum of 45 minutes a day

  • Over the course of these 3 books, the student will learn the entire Bach Cello Suite #1 and perform it by memory

 

Suzuki Book 7 and Beyond

 

  • Lessons are 1 hour long

  • Weekly practice – Minimum of 1 hour per day

  • Students will learn at least 6 Popper Etudes per year

  • Students will learn a Bach Cello Suite every year

  • Students will learn at least 2 movements of a Cello Concerto per year

  • Students will compete in at least 1 competition per year (competitions provide strong goals and deadlines for students to better progress)

 

 

Practicing

 

  • Practicing at home should reflect what is learned in the lesson.

  • Lessons are structured in a predictable way that should be emulated at home

  • Students will be provided with tutorial videos that will aid practice

 

Performance Classes

 

  • Performance classes will take place once a month so that students will have the chance to perform the pieces that they are working on
