Hannah's Music Studio Policies

Students are expected to arrive on time to their lessons, with all necessary materials and books.
Parking is available on Randy Avenue and in the driveway. Please pull up right to the top of the driveway so that no one gets blocked in.
When you arrive for lessons, please wait just inside the front door. Parents and siblings are welcome to sit in their child’s lesson, as long as it does not distract or disturb the student. Parents of young students are welcome to sit in on the lesson, as your support and participation is key to their early success.
Shoes can be left on the mat in the front hall.
Students will be assigned practice goals and theory homework each week. It is expected that they practice at least 4-5 days each week. Age appropriate practice times, goals and strategies will be discussed during lessons.
It’s completely normal for students to go through periods when they need a little extra encouragement and support with practicing. If you notice that your child is becoming frustrated, discouraged, or less enthusiastic about music, please reach out to me. Together, we can find ways to support them, build their confidence, and help them reconnect with the joy of making music.

Cancelled Lessons

Lessons must be cancelled by contacting Hannah directly, preferably by text. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to reschedule a lesson. Lessons that are missed without sufficient notice forfeit the lesson fee and no make up lesson will be offered.
Make up lessons are not guaranteed.
No refunds are given for missed lessons.
Make-up lesson times will either be offered at the end of the regular teaching year (mid to late June), or during the year when a spot becomes available. It is your responsibility to book a make-up lesson.
Teacher cancellations and weather-related cancellations will be offered as either online lessons or make up lessons; they will be prioritized when scheduling make up lessons.

If a student stops lessons mid-month, the rest of the month’s prepaid tuition is forfeit and will be considered a cancellation fee. There are no refunds.
No make-up lessons are carried forward from previous academic years; make-up lessons will expire on August 15 of a given year.
If a student is more than 15 minutes late, the teacher is not obligated to wait. Lesson times cannot be extended for students who arrive late.

Performance Opportunities

Student recitals are held in December and June. Dates and details will be announced closer to the recital.

Studio recitals are open to the public. Friends and family are welcome! Admission is free.

Students are encouraged to participate in recitals and may also choose to participate in the Orangeville & District Music Festival in April. Students may choose to prepare for RCM exams. Please speak to Hannah if you are interested.
