For families
A short guide to how lessons work. The full Parent Handbook and policies are available as a PDF.
Open the Parent Handbook (PDF)Beginners ages 5 to 12 start with Alfred’s Music for Little Mozarts, then Faber’s Piano Adventures, with music theory through Theory Time. Once the foundation is solid, lessons expand into chords, ear training, improvisation, jazz, songwriting, and music from every historical period.
Intentional, goal-oriented practice beats a fixed number of minutes. Three days a week is encouraged, and weekly goals are set together to fit each student’s age, ability, and schedule.
Performance opportunities are part of every student’s education. Competitions are optional, and registration fees are the family’s responsibility.
Cancel at least 24 hours ahead by phone, text, voicemail, or email to qualify for a make-up lesson. Late cancellations and no-shows are forfeited. If Mr. Alvin cancels, you get a make-up lesson or a qualified substitute.
Invoices go out on the 20th of each month, and payment is due by the last day of the month for the following month’s lessons. Automatic payment through Square is encouraged. Written notice before the 20th is needed to withdraw.
Continuing through summer keeps technique and momentum. Flexible options include a 60-minute lesson every other week, or reduced summer tuition for traveling families.
