Strings Unlimited Studio

• Parents of new students must observe at least two lessons before beginning lessons. This aids in understanding involvement and commitment.  An observation schedule will be emailed on request. For more information about the Suzuki Method, please visit the Suzuki Style page.
• Communication is through email and this web site. Text messages are reserved for last minute communication, please. 
• Be respectful.  This includes behavior and speech toward teacher, student, and parent.
• Be prepared.  Listen. Practice. Follow assignment sheet. Bring all supplies to lesson.  Read your emails and check web site.
• Encourage one another. Praise efforts, not results.
• Parent involvement is always critical--no matter what age of child. Please attend all lessons and take notes, record, or video what you need for home teaching.
• Semester Commitment.  Enrollment is by the semester. Tuition is paid at the beginning of the semester. Commitment is expected for at least one semester, and until the end of the semester enrolled.
