Music Center
Flute Studio Contract
· Purpose
To help the student grow in all aspects of music, including technical proficiency and musicality. To help foster a lifelong love and appreciation of music through the learning and performing of repertoire, and knowledge of music literature.
· Studio Expectations
The student will arrive on time to all lessons having prepared and practiced throughout the week on the assigned work. Participation in a recital twice a year is mandatory.
· Parent Expectations
Parents/guardians of young children are welcome and encouraged to join and participate in each lesson when at all possible. The involvement of parents is necessary to ensure that the student may enjoy the flute within a healthy musical atmosphere. Supervised and constructive practice time spent between the parent and student on a daily basis is necessary for the progress of the student. Parents of young children or beginning students must be willing to set aside 15-20 minutes per day to help their child practice and/or read their assignment book.
