SUGGESTED BEGINNING AGES FOR MUSIC LESSONS: For ages 5 we offer both piano and violin private lessons. For all other instruments, the suggested minimum age is 6 years old. For string bass, the suggested minimum age is 12 years old.

PRIVATE LESSONS: Private Lessons offer students one-on-one individualized instruction for 30, 45, or 60 minutes once weekly.

SCHEDULING: Lessons are offered year-round. The RSM year has 47 lessons September through August. Except as otherwise agreed, you will have the same lesson time each week. All scheduling is done through the office. To request a change of lesson time, please speak with someone in our office. Instructors cannot make schedule changes.

CANCELLATIONS: Cancelled lessons are not refundable. For make-up lesson alternatives, see Cancellation Policy at https://rockwallmusic.com/cancellation_policy.

ORIENTATION: There is an Orientation scheduled for a portion of the first lesson. During this orientation, parents and students will meet with the instructor to discuss lesson details and expectations. New students are asked to arrive 5 minutes early to be sure necessary paperwork is completed.

EXPECTATIONS: Students are encouraged to arrive at least 5 minutes before their scheduled lesson time. Bring all books, assignments, and materials necessary to be prepared for each lesson. It is also essential for music students to put in the necessary practice time at home. Students who are the most successful are those who complete their weekly practice assignments and arrive at their lesson ready to learn!

BOOKS AND MATERIALS: As a convenience to our students, books and other materials may be purchased through the school. When a student needs a new book, the teachers will inform the office staff and the music will be added to the student’s monthly invoice. You are also welcome to pay for the music by cash or check.

SPECIAL ASSISTANCE TO ENSURE SUCCESS: Should an instructor sense that a student needs additional instruction with class assignments, it may be necessary to schedule additional private lessons to address specific challenges and help the student stay on task. These lessons will be scheduled at the request of the instructor as an addition to the weekly private lesson, and the standard lesson rate will apply.
