Lesson Preparation

Lesson Preparation:

1· Students are expected to have prepared their lessons each week. Daily practice is encouraged to make lesson time more beneficial to the student.

2· Recommended daily lesson practice is 20-30 minutes per day. This practice schedule should increase as the student’s level of musical ability increases.

3· Parents are encouraged to participate in a student’s practice schedule by listening and motivating the student.

* practice with full concentration and always warm up first!

(scales and arpeggios make for the best warm-up)

"You cannot over practice, only practice wrong." Dorothy Taubman

"Music is technique. It is the only aspect of music we control...

One can only be free to express music if the essential technique of one's art has been completely mastered." Nadia Boulanger
