How much time should I be practicing?
As much as possible!! The more you practice, the easier it gets and the better you will be playing. Arrange your practice time aound your schedule - add it to your homework time so you get in the habit of practicing a little bit each day.Back to Top

What do I do if there is problem with my instrument?
If your instrument needs repairs or isn't working properly, let me know. If I cannot fix it for you, Mark Stransky from Country Music visits our school on Wednesdays and can make repairs on that day. If he needs to take the instrument with him for repairs he will get a loaner instrument for anyone who has rented from him. If you need repairs on an instrument you own, he will call you with an estimate. He will not make any repairs on a student owned instrument without your consent.Back to Top

What do I do if I forget my instrument?
Each student will be allowed one phone call home per quarter for a forgotten instrument. Get a phone pass from your homeroom teacher and take it to Mrs. Faneck. If you do not have your instrument make sure you come to your lesson anyway so you know what to practice for the next lesson!Back to Top
