Lesson Agreement
The purpose of this agreement is to insure that the prospective student and / or their guardian fully understands that commencement of lessons is a two way obligation between the student and the band. These two way obligations include certain expectations as well.
What the student can expect from the band and the band agrees to provide:
- The band agrees to provide a competent instructor at every Sunday practice, for at least 30 minutes of instruction. Instruction may be 1:1 or in a group session, depending on instructor availability, number of students, and the current level of the student(s)
- This instruction will be designed to provide the student those skills required to become a competent player & band member.
- The practice location will be safe, and in the case of minor students, fully in the open, never with a minor student alone with a single adult hidden from others view.
- There will be a practice session / lesson –every- week, at the assigned time, unless communicated clearly by email, website & Blog entries.
- Every student will be respected, regardless of: age, sex, religion, race or political beliefs.
What the band can expect from the student, and the student (& guardian) agrees to provide:
- The Student will acquire the materials required, under the direction of the PM, PS or DS.
- The Student will attend every practice / lesson, unless prior notification is made to the PM, PS or DS.
- The Student will do any homework assigned, and adhere to a regular, consistent practice schedule, which will be evidenced by steady progress.
- The Student will participate in band activities, as able, and upon reaching a point of proficiency on the full instrument (pipes or drum), and being invited, join the circle as a contributing member of the band.
Failure of either party to fulfill the above obligations may result in termination of lessons, by either party.
