Materials
A piano in the home is required. An acoustic piano is preferable and should be tuned at least once a year. If using an electric piano, it should have 88 weighted keys and a pedal.
Students need a metronome (app or device).
Students follow curriculum consisting of studio-created materials, beginner methods (Piano Safari and Piano Adventures), Royal Conservatory of Music repertoire, and a wide variety of supplementary books. Families are responsible for the cost of materials.
A notebook and a binder with dividers keeps lesson notes and additional resources organized.

Missed Lessons
Teacher-missed lessons: Our teachers occasionally have to reschedule lessons due to collaborative work or school schedules. These lessons will always be made up during the Lesson Make-Up weeks in December and June.
Student-missed lessons: Missed lessons are non-refundable. However, we understand that circumstances occasionally happen that might mean a student misses a lesson.
Online request: If a student is unable to make it to their lesson in-person for any reason, they may request an online lesson.
Video feedback: Students may take a video of their work during the week and send it to their teacher prior to the missed lesson. The teacher will then be happy to provide feedback.
Swap lesson times: Students may request to swap lesson times with another student in the studio. Parents arrange these directly with each other.
