SOUND SPACE by the Sea
Space Rules
We want to make sure the space is safe for everyone, therefore we establish the following rules to outline expectations, responsibilities, and for actions within the space.
1
Cancellation policy
Please inform 4 hours before the class (via WhatsApp) and arrange for a make up class. Any late notice will be taken as no show. (for cello classes the notice needs to be made 24 hours in advance)
2
Parent/caretaker accompaniment
For children under the age of four years old, we encourage the accompaniment of the caretaker/parents to create a sense of security. For older children who are able to stay in the room independently please kindly wait outside the classroom for pick up 5 minutes before the class ends.
3
Care for instruments
We want to nurture for a sense of stewardship and care for all instruments in the classroom. If there are any broken items please kindly arrange to replace the identical item in the following class.
4
Class fee
In order to secure the time slot we appreciate for your settlement of the class fee at least 1 day before the class starts.
5
Practice routine
(Specifically for the Learning Space)
If appropriate the teacher will provide homework to ensure for continuous learning. We do hope the parents will also cultivate a practice routine at home to be agreed with all parties, and at best, with their company as well to show their support and build parent child bonding.
What should you expect?
Exploration Space:
We provide structured sessions with at least 15 minutes of improvisation that enables interactive musical expression through different instruments.
​
Learning Space:
We often start off by exploring appropriate repertoire with the students as well as paying attention to laying a proper technical foundation. We will also provide guidance to reach specific goals e.g. performances or exams. Please note that we do not provide a exam oriented programme with tight deadlines.
​
Therapy Space:
We provide individualised programme for specific goals and objectives. This usually runs from a minimum of 6 sessions and progress updates will be provided periodically. Please provide referral or diagnosis reports for an assessment session (the first session) in advance.
