Studio Policy

Our weekly lessons focus on music literacy, musicianship, techniques, performance, and theory. Lesson plans are tailored to support each student’s pace, needs, and musical interests. The goal is to provide students with a musically vibrant environment, in which students learn to appreciate classical music and are inspired and motivated to reach their potential. All lessons are one-on-one, and may be conducted in-person or online.

Attendance

Students are required to attend weekly lessons. Cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Make-up lessons or credits may be granted. In any circumstances Ms. YaPing has to cancel, students will be given a make-up lesson or lesson credit.

Make-up lessons may be conducted in-person or online.

For a better learning experience, students should refrain from using any electronic devices prior to each lesson.
