– Q: Do I have to own a piano to begin piano lessons?

– A: No. Although having access to a piano at the beginning stages of lessons
is an advantage, it is not a requirement. You must have access to a keyboard in order
to review your lessons each week.

– Q: How much should I practice each week?

– A: At the beginning stages, students will be introducing new ways to move their muscles.
It is better to practice in short intervals often rather than sitting at the instruments for a long time.
Students should develop practicing methods taught by their teachers to meet their needs.
15 min – 30min per day would be good for beginners. You should always listen to your body.
If you feel any discomfort while practicing, please discuss with the teacher immediately.

– Q: Do I have to perform at the recital?

– A: Most of our students recitals twice a year in May / June and December. Recitals
are important part of our program. It is a great opportunity to present what you have been
working on to your friends and family. Although you are not required to perform
at the recitals, you are encouraged.

– Q: What should I do if I need to cancel the lesson?

– A: If you need to reschedule your lesson, we require at least a 24-hour notice.
Same day cancellations are not eligible for a make-up lesson. If you need to change
the standing time for the remaining semester we will change your time if another time
is available.

– Q: Can I make up if I miss a class?

– A: There is no make-up class if a student misses the class. Make-up will be given
if class was cancelled by the teacher or due to bad weather.

– Q: When do we make up lessons and classes cancelled by TK Music?

– A: Occasionally, TK Music will cancel lessons or classes due to bad weather or teacher's
sickness. These lessons/classes will be made up at the end of semesters. You can
also make up private lessons at a earlier convenient time.

– Q: Do you close during bad weather?

– A: Our staff WILL call you if we are definitely closed. Call us if you are not sure
if we are open. You can call us to reschedule lessons if you feel unsafe
under some conditions.

– Q: Do I need to bring an amplifier to my guitar lesson?

– A: No. You only need to bring your guitar, pick, and books.
