The Consultation:
At the consultation, we will assess the student's placement level via ear tests, and rhythm tests, and if your child is a transfer student, will have them play for us to determine level placement. We will also assess the student's and parents' commitment to ensuring regular practice and following studio policy. Most importantly, the consultation is an opportunity for you to meet your potential teacher and ask questions, and for both of us to evaluate whether the Candace Hamm Piano Studio is the right fit for you! We are looking for five things in potential student families- A commitment from both students and parents to regular practice each week (a minimum of five days per week), respect for the studio- families must follow policies including practice requirements, studio involvement, well prepared performances, and tuition requirements. Families must also commit to an engaged, supportive, positive atmosphere at home, including regular parental involvement in practice for young students, and must be prepared to work to achieve student goals in collaboration with the instructor.
