The goals of the Daniel Patterson Music Studio are to provide an environment suitable for the instruction and enjoyment of music. Parents of young students are asked to assist the instructor by providing a home environment conducive to good learning habits. A minimum practice schedule of 20-30 minutes per day is expected of students, upon reaching the early intermediate stage of skill. This should increase as the student progresses to new levels of musical proficiency. Parents are invited to observe lessons.
