Lessons

  • Be On Time – It is the responsibility of students to arrive on time to their lessons with music and other books in hand. The studio does not guarantee to have any extra books and materials in stock. Lost or forgotten books and sheet music will impede students progress. 

Missed Lessons

  • Credits – The studio does not guarantee available times to reschedule missed lessons. In order to be eligible for a rescheduled lesson, notice must be given at least 24 hours before a students weekly lesson time. If there is not another available time, the studio will apply a $25.00 credit to the next invoice. 

Dress Code

  • Modesty – Teachers of Arwe Music Studio reserve the right to dismiss any student for any inappropriate clothing. As a general guideline, and shirts with profane, crude, or explicit messaging will not be tolerated. Girls need to have their shirts touch their shorts, and Boys need to have their shorts touch their shirts.  

Practice

  • Personal Responsibility – Parents/students need to understand that lessons are once a week for a reason. In order to successfully learn a this skill, practicing the drills, exercises, and repertoire is essential to progressing. If students don’t practice, the teacher bears no blame for the lack of improvement for that student.
  • Practice Schedule  It is the recommendation of Arwe Music Studio for Parents/Students to implement a consistent practice schedule. It has been shown that students who practice at least 5 days a week for a minimum of 10 minutes a day at the same time every day, will show greater improvement than the student that practices 60 minutes one day a week. An example of a consistent schedule would be; Practice every day right after breakfast OR Practice every day right before bed.
