Summer Practice Challenge Ideas!

 Here are some great ideas to help you have fun with summer practice:


Shar Music has started a 6 week practice challenge that will have prizes at the end (It's a BINGO game!) 

https://www.sharmusic.com/pages/shar-music-summer-practice-challenge?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&utm_campaign=Summer%20Practice%20Challenge%2006.30.2023&_kx=2Cqaj_AXr9UadT5LwIimrVjdCEpl8KZGzvlT4LEbF4k%3D.U3Fxzw


If you like Tic Tac Toe, you can make your own sheet or use this one (it's free to download) to play a fun review game by writing one review song on each "X" or "O" card and drawing them to place on your Tic Tac Toe Sheet:

If you would rather be an Adventurer, try playing in different rooms or places, maybe even outside or at a park or playground (when it isn't TOO HOT!) Did you know animals like to hear you play? It's really true!

Count your practice repetitions by using small animals, pennies, Cheerios, Raisins, Chocolate Chips, or buttons!
Then use them to 'buy' something fun, (or eat the chocolate chips or Cheerios!)

Make-ups are at the teacher’s discretion. Make- up lessons will not be given for less than 24 hour notice, unless the teacher grants exceptions for true emergencies or illnesses. There will be two scheduled ‘make-up master class days’ during the year which will be used for make-up times, with appointments determined by the teacher. If a make-up lesson is missed, the lesson is forfeited and may not be rescheduled again.

My intention is to maintain open communication with each of my families.  If you find something unsatisfactory, I ask that you bring it to my attention right away so we can work towards resolution. I’m available through email, text or phone.

 

 

 

Each teacher is not necessarily the best fit for every student, and there are various reasons to find a new teacher. If you desire to discontinue lessons with me or find another teacher, I am available to discuss your needs and aid in the referral process.* Four weeks notice is required if you plan to discontinue lessons, and you are financially responsible for those remaining four lessons.
____ Discontinuing Lessons: If we / I need to discontinue lessons for any reason, I will let my teacher, Virginia Lamboley, know at least one month in advance of my final lesson. I understand I am financially responsible for the balance remaining for the month of lessons after notification.
