    Each student must understand the basis of their instruction and study and consider the importance of practice or rehearsal for their continued progress and development. Students are also asked to keep consistent attendance and come to class with necessary preparation materials that have been discussed in class.

    Each student is periodically reviewed for progress, development and consistency for their continued participation in the program. Students are instructed in basic and fundamental skills and techniques to promote high standards in their chosen art of study before going on to advanced learning and performance.
