All
About Your First Lesson
If you're a little
bit nervous, that's completely normal! But don't worry,
Mrs. Keith will help put you at ease. There won't be any
tests or pressure.
At the first lesson you will probably talk more than at any
other lesson. Mrs. Keith will want to hear a little bit
about you and what your hopes are for music lessons. She'll
also tell you a little bit more about her teaching style
and what you can hope to learn from her.
You will also begin making music at the first lesson.
Remember, building a skill takes time and practice, but
don't be surprised if you're making some music already by
the end of the very first lesson.
Be prepared with:
*an open mind and a positive attitude
Allow yourself to be excited about learning and open to
take some chances and discover a whole new world of music!
*music (optional)
If you have any prior experience, bring some music you'd
like to perform for Mrs. Keith--don't worry, this isn't a
test! It helps her assess your current skills and make a
plan for future studies.
If you're a beginner, Mrs. Keith will recommend new music
books for you.
