Private Music FAQs
Do students need prior music experience?
We accept students of all skill levels.
​
Does the size and quality of the instrument matter?
If you haven't purchased an instrument before starting lessons, please consult with your instructor before you purchase one. Some instruments are available in varying sizes and it's important you have the right fit. Quality is very important as well. Students are more likely to become discouraged if practicing on a poor quality instrument that is too hard to play and doesn't stay in tune.
​
How much practice is required?
Weekly instruction alone is not enough to learn an instrument. More practice results in faster progress but generally 4-5 days a week for 30 minutes a day is sufficient. Quality of practice is just as important as how much you practice. It's important that you practice the lessons your instructor has assigned for the week so that you are able to progress to the next lesson. Parents should encourage their children to practice at home.
​
Does Brushworks have recitals?
Yes. Brushworks host student recitals every 8 months for family and friends to attend. We believe performing in front of an audience helps build confidence and encourages students to practice more. Some teachers require students to have been in lessons for at least six months to one year before participating in their first recital.
​
Do you offer makeup lessons?
We do not guarantee makeups for absent music students. However if you submit a makeup request form no later than 24 hours before your missed class, we will put you on a wait list for a makeup. If another student cancels we will contact everyone on the wait list to offer a makeup in that time slot. Makeup classes are offered on a first come first serve basis.
