In order to create and maintain a safe, positive learning environment for all children, we are committed to putting these measures in place:

• During all private music lessons, the instructor will teach in a room with the door open.
• Parents are always welcome to stay in a waiting area within earshot of a private lesson. If they find it necessary, a parent may check the open door at any time without disturbing the lesson.
• Bullying or fighting between students will not be tolerated.
• Students must stay in the building until their guardian has arrived to pick them up.

• Sheet music or music books
• Strings
• Recital clothing
• Metronome
• Notebook
• Pencils

Important announcements will be communicated with students and parents via email. It is expected that students and parents will check their email regularly for updates regarding recital dates and details, snow-day closures, schedule changes, and other lesson details. In the case of an emergency or last-minute schedule change, students and parents may be notified by phone.

Parents and students are encouraged to contact the instructor by phone, email, or in person if they have any questions or concerns with lessons or scheduling.

Key to Change is pleased to offer scholarships to deserving students, with the expectation that scholarship recipients will demonstrate hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude in their lessons. Failure to meet these expectations will result in loss of scholarship.

Scholarship recipients are expected to commit to a year of lessons, complete all practice assignments, attend all lessons, and serve as positive role models for other students. More than three unexcused absences in a semester will result in loss of scholarship. Students must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in order to keep their scholarship.
