Policies

Parent participation is mandatory in all Music For Young Children classes.   

• A piano or touch-sensitive keyboard is required for students to practice on. 
• The registration fee and nine post-dated cheques are required to reserve your child’s space in the class time and day you request. ** Cheques must be dated the 1st  of each month (Sept 1st - May 1st) and are payable to Leanne Kantymir.  Thanks! 
• In the event of a missed class you will be emailed the homework sheet upon request.  There are no refunds for missed classes. 
• There are 34 lessons plus 2 recitals in the teaching year. The studio follows school holidays at Christmas and Spring Break. 
• Parents thanks for not visiting in class.  Take notes on new concepts presented and get as much out of lessons as you can.  Have fun - enthusiasm is contagious. 
• Thank you for being on time for class.  We start on time whether you are present or not.  When you are late your child misses out – obviously there are exceptions! I'd rather you come late than not at all. 
• Practice is essential to success in MYC®.   I provide incentives to motivate and do my best to encourage.   Students will be best prepared and experience maximum success when they practice 5 times per week for the suggested duration.  Parents agree to ensure this practice routine is established and maintained with your assistance.  Parents, you are the key to MYC®!!  
• Most importantly, your child is important to me.  I want them to learn music but more importantly I want them to develop a love for music.  I aim to keep in touch with you to monitor your child’s progress and to provide encouragement and support along the way.
