Performance
- Students must practice daily to become excellent performers and to get the most benefit out of their lessons.
- Students will be given a one-month probation period if they are not practicing regularly and making progress, and Andrew will determine at the end of the month whether they will continue.
- Students, who can make a good sound with their bow are required to perform at studio recitals. Performing in front of an audience is a key part of playing an instrument and being a musician.
- A studio recital will be scheduled near the beginning of each semester, roughly in the months of January, June and September.
- It is important to make these performances a priority since they will only happen three times a year.
- Additional performances, such as home concerts and recordings are encouraged and can be scheduled with Andrew
