Message to Students/Parents
Dear Parents and Students,
As an independent music coach, I approach this profession with the utmost seriousness and a strong sense of responsibility, both regarding the compensation received and the reputation I uphold. This endeavor is not a hobby or merely a source of pocket money; it is a professional commitment.
Parents are kindly requested to consider these lessons as a valuable investment in the student’s musical development. To achieve meaningful progress, students are expected to practice regularly, ideally daily or as frequently as possible. “Wishing you all the best.”
