The primary goals of My Studio are: 1) That the student achieve musical literacy; 2) That the student's full potential is reached by an array of musical opportunities, including public performance, both solo and ensemble; 3) That the student claim the joy of music-making as a lifetime treasure.
The academic year starts on the first week of September and ends the third week of August. Holidays follow the Henrico County Public Schools' calendar. Summer lessons are taken twice a month during the months of June, July and August.
Tuition is divided in 12 equal monthly payments due at the first lesson of each month. It can also be payed in full, 12 months payment, or by semester, six months payment.
Weekly lessons of 30 minutes to students whose age is from 5-14
Weekly lessons of 45 minutes to students whose age is from 14 and above
In order to be able to have make up lesson time, if a lesson must be missed, it will be the responsibility of the parent or the student to announce it to the teacher with at least two weeks prior to the cancellation date.
The practice should be regular; 10 to 15 minutes daily for young students (5 to 9 years old) and 20 t0 30 minutes for older students. Not having been able to practice should not be a reason to miss a lesson. Mrs. Andueza and the student can still take advantage of the scheduled lesson time by reinforcing the previous assignment.
As part of the music education experience it is periodically necessary for the student to prepare music for public presentation. Students in my piano studio will have the opportunity to participate in one Piano Recital during the academic year.
