STUDIO POLICIES - WOLF PIANO STUDIO
2007-2008
TUITION – 30, 45, and 60 minute lesson are available.
PAYMENT OF FEES – Payable for the month in advance of lessons, are to be
made of the first lesson of each month. Please make checks payable to Wolf Piano
Studio. Statements are sent at the end of the month to show books and any credit
on your account. Balance should never exceed one month’s lessons. A $10.00
overdue fee per family will be charged to accounts not paid in full by the 15th of
each month.
ABSENCES - Student-Missed lessons will be made up at the teacher's discretion.
The studio is a full-time career, and there are no make-up slots available. You are
responsible to come to your scheduled lesson. Lessons missed by the teacher will
be credited to you or rescheduled. Once-in-a-lifetime family events, medical
emergencies, and musical absences (participating in band concerts, etc) and snow
emergencies will be considered on a case by case basis. (Too much homework,
tiredness, play rehearsals, going to the game, unpreparedness and forgetfulness ARE
NOT excused absences.) This is in line with others in my industry: dance, sports,
other lessons, etc. If you miss due to a vacation, you will still be charged. Consider
this part of your vacation expenses. I hope you understand the need for
professionalism in this regard. I do NOT want you to come when you are ill.
Please do me the courtesy of a telephone call for any reason.
STUDIO RULES - Remove shoes at the door if it has been raining or snowing.
Use only the waiting room, studio and bathroom facilities on the lower level. The
toy room and other areas are not for studio student use! When waiting check your
homework, read a music magazine, or listen to a variety of CDs. I highly encourage
you to use the computer center, games, and the Clavinova. You are expected to be
on time, prepared and bring all of your books, including your assignment notebook
EVERY WEEK.
LESSON TERMINATION - A one month notice is required in the event of lesson
termination by the student. Lessons will be terminated by the teacher in the event of
irregular attendance, repeated failure to prepare assigned material or disruptive
behavior. A one month probation period with parent notification will precede lesson
termination. Missing recitals or competitions without a phone call is grounds for
immediate termination.
PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS – Practice is a must. 30 minutes daily per
elem. student, 45 minutes daily per middle school student, 60 or more minutes daily
per high school student is a guideline. Practice every day is essential to
improvement. A set schedule that includes practice at the same time every day,
perhaps after dinner, or before school is best. Some weeks there will be more to
practice, other weeks will be less. When you come to lessons, you have entered
“NO EXCUSE” land. Do not apologize for less than adequate practice during the
week. We will work together on the things that did get better. Keep track of your
practice minutes in your notebook.
VISITS - Parents are always welcome to sit in on lessons up to once per month.
RECITALS - At least 2 performance opportunities will be available to each student
per school year. Contests, theory, and end of year Guild auditions are also
available. A GUILD AUDITION IS REQUIRED OF ALL STUDENTS PER
YEAR. Performances at nursing homes, malls, etc. are not required but encouraged
TEACHER RESPONSIBILITY - * Nurture a positive atmosphere for learning. *
Provide varied performance opportunities. * Set short and long-term goals for each
student. * A dedication to your piano development.
* Maintaining quality instruments at the studio * Further her teaching skills by
belonging to professional organizations, attending workshops and educational
programs, reading professional publications, and engaging in other activities leading
to her continued growth.
