It is important that students warm up (at least 15 minutes) before their lesson.
Please also be sure the instrument is properly oiled so we don’t lose time getting the instrument to work properly.
Students should have a three-ring binder devoted to the material they will use in their studies and are expected to bring it to their lessons.
These are used to keep track of daily practice and specify weekly assignments. Students should have a blank one available for every lesson. These are double sided PDFs, so if you print double-sided, one page will work for two lessons.
Policy of the New Mexico School of Music, mainly pertaining to in-person lessons.
Student Cancellations (SC) – Students may cancel one lesson per semester during the school year and will receive a makeup lesson. A 24-hour advance notice of a cancellation is normally required, however no one wants to teach a sick student so we do accept cancellations on the same day in the case of illness.
Teacher Cancellations (TC) – Teachers must make up all lessons that they cancel. This can be done by extending the length of several lessons, or scheduling a separate makeup lesson.
Scheduling Makeups – For in-person lessons, we will coordinate makeups with the NMSM or arrange a convenient online lesson. For lessons typically taught online, we will arrange an online lesson according to our schedules.
