STUDIO POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

LESSONS

Two options for lessons are offered at Tanya Karyagina Piano Studio:

  1. In Person at Tanya Karyagina’s studio (1809 W. Broadus St. Fort Worth, TX 76155)

  2. Online via Zoom

If option 1 is chosen, the student/parent will have to fill out and sign the Studio Guidelines and Release of Liability form.

Students are able to sign up at any point in the semester, but must continue to take lessons until the end of the semester to allow time for visible progress.

PARENT VISITS

Parents are welcome and encouraged to visit their children’s private lessons. Parents are highly encouraged to maintain close contact with the teacher and not hesitate to ask clarifying questions. Your child’s progress is important to us and working together we can ensure that your child receives a high-quality music education.

MAKE UP LESSONS

Only one make up lesson during the semester will be granted to each student, given that the teacher is notified of the absence at least 24 hours in advance.

If the teacher misses a lesson, she will be responsible for setting up a make up lesson.
