Miraflores Music Academié Lesson Policy
Master Instructor - Marcia Migét “As a music teacher for over thirty years my process of instruction incorporates multiple intelligences and modalities concepts, as well as aspects of performance, stage presentation and biodynamics. It is my intent not only to develop musically literate individuals, but critical thinkers and conscious doers. My primary goal is to make learning music fun." ALL STUDENTS: Please wait in the hall until previous lesson has been completed. Please refrain from talking during someone else's lesson. Students are required to practice daily for the length of time determined by the teacher and student. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING ALL REQUIRED MATERIALS TO THE LESSON. Be on time for the lesson. Miraflores Music School Music lessons vary according to student's needs, talents and personality. A variety of styles are offered including classical, jazz, improvisation, creativity in composition, theory ear training and technique. A variety of combinations are available with regard to Private and Group lessons. Goals vary according to age level and ability. Younger beginning students are in training as they learn to include music as a part of their daily lives and encouraged to develop a love and joy for music. Older, more advanced students are challenged according to their ability levels and must exhibit a true desire to study and develop practice habits in order to grow as a musician. PAYMENT: Tuition for the school year is divided into equal monthly payments and due at the first lesson of each month regardless of any absences or holidays. Tuition is not based upon the number of lessons in any given month, and there is no refund for missed lessons. Each student receives 33 lessons between September and May. Student may wish to participate in the SWAP LIST. There are no deductions in tuition for special vacations or extra absences that occur during the school year. CANCELLATIONS: Students who wish to change their lessons for any reason can do so, provided another student is willing to swap their lesson in exchange. Each student can have their name, phone number and lesson time published on the LESSON SWAP LIST. Students who are not on the swap list will not receive a copy. If a student is in a group class, they may arrange a swap with the teacher if there is a similar class available. Students who swap their lessons must notify the instructor within 48 hours of the lesson. If a student cannot attend the lesson and cannot arrange a swap, the lesson is forfeited. If the instructor is unable to attend a lesson, the teacher will make up the lesson at another time. PERFORMANCES: There will be opportunities to perform in recitals and concerts throughout the year. Students are required to perform after they have had at least one year of lessons. To help cover the cost of renting a recital space and printing programs a fee will be charged to each student. PARKING: Parking is NOT available in the CHURCH PARKING LOT. Please park on E Street, Bryn Mar Street or the parking lot located directly north of Mission as E Street ends. You may temporarily use the church parking lot to drop/pick up your child off but please do not use any of the numbered parking spots. Thank you for your cooperation.
