Ages 6-7 will be on a case-by-case basis. There will be one or possibly two trial lessons and then an evaluation after a week or two of practice to see whether or not the child pays attention during the lesson and practices actively and regularly during the week. At this age, a parent is required to sit in on each lesson and will need to actively participate as a sort of “practice coach” at home. The parent will learn the very basics of piano as well at first, though eventually your son or daughter will be able to practice effectively on their own and without guidance. Another reason that a parent “Practice Coach” is needed is that each student will be given a “Piano Lesson Assignment Sheet” at the end of each lesson, which is a way for them to remember in the following days what to practice and has notes and instructions and concepts from whatever we talked about during the lesson (and that I had time to write down!). At this young age, a parent may be needed to read the assignments to the student at home—and being in the lesson helps immensely with parents understanding what these assignments are.
