STUDIO POLICIES - 2011-2012
The essence of my policies is to answer frequently asked questions and to move on to the music we all
love. If you have particular questions, please ask me.
TUITION –Lessons run Sept.-May, fees are $97 per month for 30 minute, $145 per month for 45
minute. Longer lessons and double lessons per week are available.
PAYMENT OF FEES – Payable for the month in advance of lessons. Make checks payable to Wolf Piano
Studio. Statements are sent at the end of the month to show activity on your account. A $20.00
overdue fee will be charged to accounts not paid in full by the 15th of each month.
ABSENCES - We will be fair to each other and be professional. If I am going to miss your lesson, I
will credit your account or find a make-up time. I do not give credit or make up lessons when you are
absent as a general rule. Of course, emergencies happen. Please do me the courtesy of a telephone
call or email; I will worry if you’re not here.
STUDIO – Be respectful of my home. Some ideas while you wait might include: check your piano
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.
LESSON TERMINATION – We will come to an agreement that is amenable and caring. Most times,
people have courteously given at least a one month paid notice.
PRACTICE –This is the key to improvement. Practice on the days you eat. There’s no better way to
say it. 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. We will work together on the things that did get better.
VISITS - Parents are always welcome to sit in on lessons.
RECITALS – Sharing our music is a joy when we are ready and comfortable. At least 2 performance
opportunities inhouse will be available to each student per school year. Contests, theory, festivals, and
end of year Guild auditions are also available. Performances at nursing homes, malls, etc. are
encouraged.
TEACHER RESPONSIBILITY - * Nurture a positive atmosphere for learning.
* Provide varied performance opportunities.
* Set short and long-term goals for each student. I am dedicated to your piano development.
* Maintain 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, new ideas and high teaching standards.
