Focus & Attitude
Please come to lessons ready to work and have fun! That is the best advantage you can give yourself when learning new music and techniques.
Preparation
I expect my students to come to lessons prepared.
This means following directions that I have given during the previous lesson and practicing for at least 5 days during the week. Length of time per practice session will depend on a student’s level of experience:
Beginners should expect to practice between 10-20 minutes per practice day. This amount of time will lengthen up to an hour with several years of lessons.
Advanced students should expect several practice sessions a day. This amount of time is an estimate based on the amount of music assigned and time required to master a piece or technique.
Lessons require equal effort from teacher and student. Both parties need dedication to their art form and the ability to communicate effectively. As a teacher, Julie makes her expectations clear, and she asks the same in return for her students. Students are encouraged to express their concerns or questions in a respectful manner.
