Performance Handbook
Revised Fall 2024
B. Private Lessons
- Private music lessons on any instrument or voice are normally forty-five or 45 minutes
long. An option to take a one-hour lesson may be recommended by the instructor. A
total of 13 lessons will be given per semester.
- Students taking either a forty-five or 45 minute or a one-hour lesson once per week
receive two academic credits. Students cannot take lessons for "no credit" or on a
"pass-fail" basis. They may audit lessons with the approval of the instructor.
- Missed lessons:
- All lessons missed due to the instructor's absence will be made up.
- If a lesson is missed due to a holiday during the semester, and this creates a void in the 13-lesson semester, the lesson will be rescheduled.
- Applied music instructors are not responsible for making up lessons because of a student's late enrollment unless the performance faculty member is unable to start teaching until after the drop/add date.
- If it is impossible for the student to take a lesson because of illness, the student must notify the instructor at the earliest possible moment.
- Missed lessons will not be made up if the student fails to give prior notification to their instructor.
- Policies for dealing with students who arrive late for a lesson are left to the discretion of the individual teacher.
