December studio class is canceled. It is so close to the AIM Festival, we would defeat our purpose. Instead, we will focus on Christmas music through December at piano lessons. By Christmas everyone should have some carols they can share with their families. Studio Class Schedule.
No lesson on Halloween, nor Thanksgiving. See: "No lessons" for more information.
IMTA Convention - November 10-11, 2000, I'll be out of town attending the annual Indiana Music Teachers Convention at DePauw University. I hope to return with many ideas!
Time Crunch - The week or so prior to Fall
Break, 25% of my students needed to cancel their lessons at the last minute
due to time crunch in getting home work and projects done. Because I offered
to make up the lesson to the first student, I felt I needed to be fair
and offer lessons to all. This places a time crunch to my entire family.
In the future, I need to stick to the policy
of switching with other students, or simply cancel the lesson without a
make-up or refund. I would love to be flexible enough to help the occasional
"exception", but can not. I really try to do the best for each student.
The students who attend most regularly, and at the same time, are
most likely to play piano the longest. You always have the option of switching
lessons. Thanks.
