• Nothing but respectful, appropriate language & behaviour from everyone, at all times

Home Practise: Singing and listening to music is always encouraged at home, as you progress through our music literacy program there will be some home practise required to keep up a good knowledge of content. All Instrumental and Choir students are required to practise every week to progress and feel comfortable with the content.

Studio & Classroom Management: It is the understanding that your child may need appropriate physical and/ or verbal assistance for the musical activities they are engaging in. For example: playing instruments, clapping, tapping a beat, dancing, completing physical tasks, appropriate washroom assistance, depending on age.

Communication: Having open discussions with teachers and staff at appropriate times is key to understanding and learning within the school. We encourage constructive discussion regarding any matters that may come up in the school. Please find an appropriate time to speak or email your teacher or the admin.
