What is a parent’s involvement in Limitless Lessons?
This will vary from student to student, depending on the student’s comfort level as well as their abilities. Our instructors find value in spending time one-on-one with students as they feel that this provides them with the opportunity to strengthen their independent communication and socialization skills in a safe environment.
However, we are committed to keeping an open line of communication and consultation with parents, recognizing they are the best resource on their child’s strengths and areas of growth. In between lessons, it’s vital that parents encourage the students to practice at home as well as spend a few minutes reviewing new musical concepts. As a result, our instructors are excited to team up with parents, so as to encourage at-home practice and review.
How will my child’s needs and growth goals be assessed and decided?
We ask that all incoming Limitless Lessons students fill out a supplementary questionnaire to assist their instructor in creating a lesson plan that best serves the individual student’s needs and personal/musical growth goals.
