Student Responsibilities for Private Lessons

  • Arrive on time
  • Maintain a positive attitude
  • Speak directly with your teacher if you have any questions or concerns​
  • Practice daily!

A Note About Practicing

For success while learning a musical instrument you will need a weekly lesson and regularly-scheduled practice time. Minimum practice sessions are 15 minutes every day for beginners. Your teacher will make further recommendations.

  • Set aside a practice time each day
  • Expect to repeat difficult sections at least 4 or 5 times
  • Playing your music through once does not constitute practicing 🙂
  • Practice slowly and carefully, concentrating on the work at hand
  • Remember that your teacher is there to help: all questions are important!​

Students at the Préville Fine Arts Centre must read and agree to the cancellation policies and student responsibilities outlined on this page.
