Open Strings Music Studio Open is designed to be a safe, comfortable and reasonably well-organized learning environment. An understanding of the rules by all is essential to achieving this goal. Your cooperation is appreciated.

• Your scheduled lesson time is exclusively yours; each lesson begins and ends promptly. To get the best, and the most, from your music lessons, please be prepared and on time. Lessons are scheduled back-to-back, with no spaces in between; please be considerate of your fellow students by not interrupting the student before you, or delaying the student following you. There are outdoor and indoor waiting areas for your convenience.
• Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend and observe their children’s lessons. Siblings and friends are welcome, too, with a parent in attendance. Toddler siblings are welcome guests, but must be kept under very, very close physical supervision by a parent at all times. The studio and premises are not ‘toddler-proof’.
• Kids with special needs are very welcome at Open Strings. Please communicate the nature of these needs clearly and completely, and all means will be employed to assist them.
• No ‘child care’ services are offered. Additional kids may not be dropped off with a student and picked up later. No supervision is available for students dropped off early or picked up late from lessons. Please be prompt and timely with drop-offs and pick-ups of young students.
• No ‘drop-ins’. Lessons are by appointment only, and lessons in session will not be interrupted for unexpected visitors. Please contact by phone or email first.
• Aggressive, disorderly or unsafe behavior will not be tolerated and will result in dismissal.
• No food or beverages are to be brought onto the premises. Please leave Big Gulps, Happy Meals and their associated waste elsewhere. Bottled water is always available.
• No parking in the driveway, which is shared with a neighbor; there is abundant curbside parking in the immediate vicinity.
