Attendance and Supervision

    and/or costs.

    c) Students must not bring food or drink to their music lessons unless they are in a lunch time or

    recess time session.

    d) School bags can be bought into the music room but must be placed neatly and out of the

    walkway.

  • Behaviour

Lessons

  • Lesson Times

    a) Lesson times are subject to change. Where changes are made, you will be notified by

    our friendly Cool Kids Music Co. administration team.

  • Lesson Plans

    a) Students progress through the Cool Kids Music Co. workbooks at their own pace, not

    as a collective class.

    b) Lesson plans will focus on both theory and practical aspects of musicianship, and as

    such lesson content may vary from week to week.

    c) From time to time Cool Kids Music Co. hosts the “Music Olympics”. These are a series

    of games, activities, and worksheets specifically designed to expand students’ musical

    theory knowledge. Students will not play their instruments during the Music Olympics.

  • Instruments

    a) Cool Kids Music Co. provides instruments for each lesson.

    b) We encourage students not to bring their instruments to their lessons as responsibility

    is not taken by us or the school.

    c) It is not compulsory for students to have their own instrument at home, but it is

    preferred to benefit their learning.

Homework, Practise and Reports

  • Homework Sheets

    a) In the back of every Cool Kids Music Co. workbook there are homework sheets. Tutors

    fill in the child’s homework, where parents/caregivers can tick off every time they have

    practised.

    b) We encourage students to practise at home regularly to advance in their instrument.

  • Practise Guideline

    a) To work to how long your child should practise their instrument at home depends on

    how long the child has been learning and how old they are. We recommend following

    this guideline:


    AGE  X  YEARS OF LEARNING = MINUTES (3 x a week)


    For example, John is 8 and has been learning for 2 years. His practise should be 16

    minutes, three times a week, or the equivalent of this. If you are still unsure, your tutor

    can provide more information.



  • Reports and Tutor Feedback

    a) Semester reports of students progress are provided via email.

    b) Reports are of the assessing tutors discretion and opinion at the time of completion
