Joe’s Expectations for his Students
First and foremost, all of Joe’s students make a commitment to practicing at least 30 minutes a day, six days a week. When it comes to learning almost anything, 30 minutes a day is far better than two hours once a week.
Students arrive five minutes before their lesson time, and pack up promptly once their lesson is finished.
All students will be asked to purchase a manuscript notebook.
Students must bring all of their necessary items to each lesson (e.g. instrument, music, manuscript notebook, and pencil).
Time and Place
All lessons are given at Joe’s home studio in Oak Grove, OR
Joe will work with your schedule as best he can to find a consistent lesson time that will work for everyone. Generally, weekday afternoons from 3-7p.
