Expectations:
1. Students are expected to practice everyday! IDEAS: Subscribe to a practice tracking app: I use Andante. It costs $20 per year. It is a game changer for me as far as getting me to practice every single day. OR, make your own chart that tracks your daily practice.
2. Students are expected to practice what I have assigned at the lesson. Each Practice session should include (but not be limited to) these three elements, no matter what: open strings, scales and Arpeggios, and repertoire.
3. Students are expected to practice for good intonation and beautiful tone. Good intonation is achieved by practicing the notes of your piece slowly, one at a time, as if each note is a whole note. Beautiful tone is achieved by practicing the rhythm of your piece on OPEN STRINGS (with no fingers.)
4. Students are expected to listen to recordings and/or watch videos that I assign in the lesson. Learning your music by listening is essential to mastering repertoire. Learning technique by watching the masters is essential to mastering the skill necessary to succeed on the instrument.
5. Students are expected to perform at performance classes and recitals. Monthly performance classes are for students only and offer students a chance to practice performing. They are fun and lively classes that build confidence and community. Recitals are performances attended by friends and family and are celebrations of hard work and student accomplishment.
6. Students are expected to arrive on time to their lessons with all of their materials. Don't forget your notebook and your music books and any loose pages we are working from!
Lessons are held at Central Lutheran Church - 1857 Potter St. Eugene, OR
