| I didn't enroll before the session start date. Do I have to wait? |
No! Students may enroll at any time. Sessions are pro-rated, and you will only be charged for the remainder of the session.
|
| Do I need my own instrument? |
Absolutely! It's necessary to practice at home between lessons in order to progress. Our staff will happily assist in selecting the appropriate instrument for each student, if you don't have one already!
|
| Do I have to bring my instrument to each lesson? |
We do ask all of our students to bring their instrument with them to each lesson. Drummers and pianists are excluded, and we have their instruments available in their lesson room.
If a student forgets their instrument, we can almost always provide one for the lesson at no-cost!
|
| How do you match teachers with students? |
Our entire teaching staff is extremely versatile, and able to teach any student regardless of age/experience level. We do not publicly disclose resumes, but rest assured that every single one of our teachers has been vetted for qualifications and background. We do everything in our power to ensure a quality, safe, and fun education for every single one of our students.
That in mind, we typically pair people up based on availability. We want to make sure lessons can happen on a regular basis, and value consistency.

| Is the Crescendo School of Music closed during school breaks? |
We do not follow any school schedules or closings, as we have students from many different school systems. If a student is away for a break, please refer to our credit policy. In the event of an irregular cancellation for our school, we will notify you and offer to make up the lesson.
|
| Do you have mandatory recitals? |
We have two recitals each year (June and December). While these are not mandatory, we strongly encourage all of our students to participate. Recitals give students a specific goal, and help them become comfortable with performing in front of others. Above all, they're fun! They're two of our favorite days of the year.
