Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Commonly Questions
How long are lessons?
It depends on the students age and level. Younger students sometimes need shorter lessons, but this can be determined by evaluating the student at the interview.Lessons range from 30 minutes up to 90 minutes.
How long should i practice for?
Recommended practice amount is 5 days a week. For beginners, 20-30 minutes per day is sufficient, while more advanced students practice up to 2 hours daily.
Will I need my own instrument to practice at home?
Yes. For beginners, sometimes a rental is sufficient and if deciding to purchase, a lot of rental places give credit towards that purchase.
Will I need to purchase books?
Yes, especially for rudiments, harmony and history. Instrumental books can be purchased for the student depending on the teachers recommendation. Supplementary exercises for instrumental lessons are sometimes provided by the teacher.
How is payment provided?
Lessons are paid in quarterly, or by the term in instalments. Cost of the lessons is determined by level and length of lesson.
What do you do about a student lacking enthusiasm and direction?
As a lifelong educator, it is my responsibility and great pleasure to encourage and introduce material to students that helps them to improve and experience the joy of music making.We are all different, and the individual is the most important part of this vital process!
