Course Materials
Each student will need a Lesson Book, Supplemental Book, and Theory Book. Music books will be purchased by the parent unless arrangements are made with the teacher. A form will be sent home approximately two weeks before a new book is needed with the new music listed and the date it will be needed by. Each student will also need a 3-ring binder and a pencil.
Practice
I ask that students practice a minimum of 2 hours per week. I understand that some weeks this is not possible, but please encourage your student(s) to practice on a regular basis. This practice time should be spent on the assigned songs for that week.
Instrument
All students are required to have a well-maintained instrument at home to practice on. A piano is preferred, however a keyboard is acceptable in the beginning. If using a keyboard, touch-sensitive keys and a sustain pedal are required. Weighted keys and a full-size, 88-key keyboard are preferred. Please keep pianos tuned.
