Through
music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses her inmost self,
tastes the joy of creating, widens his sympathies, develops her mind,
soothes and refines his spirit, and adds grace to her body.

Education
Because I truly believe that a child's music education is a present
investment in a lifetime of musical pleasure I have set up the
following policies regarding your child's musical instruction.
1.
As of 8-31-92 my fees are tuition based and payable one month in
advance at the first lesson of the month. A late fee of $5.00
will be charged for payments made after the 20th of the month.
2.
A lesson will be excused for emergencies only. These should
be
rare, and I, as the teacher will be the sole judge of the
validity. One make-up lesson due to illness per semester.
3.
With sufficient notice (at least 24 hours in advance) lessons which
conflict with other special activities such as school programs, dental
appointments, etc., may be rescheduled for a later time at my
convenience.
4.
Non-emergency cancellations, last-minute cancellations, and "no-shows"
will necessitate charging the full lesson fee for the unused time
reserved for the student.
Remember to work with your child in setting up a daily practice
schedule as soon as each new season approaches, whether it is the
school year or summer vacation. A set time each day will help
them remember without constantly having to be reminded and will also
help insure that you are getting your money's worth out of music
lessons.
The study of music is rewarding and enjoyable, but it is also
work! It is probably the first serious commitment your child
has
ever made. As you know, your child will be only as committed
as
you are. Each student will move along as quickly as the
assigned
material is sufficiently mastered.
It is my sincere desire that my teaching and your support at home (with
encouragement, praise, and discipline when needed) will form an
effective team. By working together we can make music one of
the
most enjoyable experiences your child will ever encounter.
This
is one of the few avenues of training that will be with them an entire
lifetime.
If you have any questions or concerns, I will be happy to discuss them
with you.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Patricia Nyien
