A Few Words About Music Instruction

There is but one magic formula in music instruction.
practice + support = success.

Success will depend on practice habits and the support system in the student’s home. Results cannot happen unless the student is practicing.  Instructors are meant to give guidance. Students are expected to listen, follow directions, make an effort and to follow through on assignments.  Students are also encouraged to ask questions if an assignment is not understood.  The rewards for the effort are priceless.
