Studio Policy
The Dr. Ena Kim's Piano Studio is located in Irvine, CA 92618 (Beacon Park).
1. Lessons Private lessons are given weekly in 30, 45 and 60 minute lengths. Private lessons focus primarily on technique and repertoire as well as musicianship and creative skills. 2. Missed Lessons Each student has a reserved lesson time, and is responsible for that time. I regret that missed lessons cannot be made up except in cases of teacher absence. A make-up lesson will be issued when a lesson is cancelled within at least 24 hours prior notice by email or phone. (This includes being sick the day of the scheduled lesson.) Lesson time cannot be extended due to late arrival. Please note that tuition is due regardless of missed lessons. 3. Practice Regular home practice is essential for student success. Short, daily practice sessions are more effective than one or two long sessions per week. The most important time for students to practice is right after their weekly lesson, to solidify what they have just learned. Parental involvement in home practice is crucial for student success. Please help your student to establish and stick to a practice routine, and see that practice time is free of distractions. If you are the parent of an elementary age student, please plan to sit with your child for at least a portion of their daily practice time. 4. Preparation for the test and competitions Studio Recitals, Voluntary and Benefit Concerts, Certificate of Merit (Level 1~10), Junior Chamber Music, Southwestern Youth Music Festival (SYMF), MTAC competitions, Regional, district and international auditions and competitions. 5. Tuition & Fees Students will need to purchase method books and music on occasion throughout the year. Additional event fees may be required for festivals, competitions and other performance events. The monthly tuition is due at the first week of each month. |
