Parent Guidelines & Partnership

At Con Brio Piano Studio, we believe that success and enjoyment in piano study is a partnership — between instructor, student, and family. When everyone aligns in purpose, consistency, and encouragement, remarkable musical growth takes place. This guide outlines how we work together to support your child’s journey.

(Full Parent policy details are provided in the Student Handbook and Membership Agreement upon enrollment.)


Our Partnership Philosophy

We view your role as essential, not optional. From celebrating progress to supporting daily practice, your involvement sets the tone for success.


Your Role at Home

– Create a quiet, focused space for daily practice.

– Review weekly feedback and assignments with your student.

– Ensure access to our exclusive online piano portal and digital materials.


Communication & Feedback

Active engagement with weekly feedback is an essential part of your child’s progress. Parents are expected to review and acknowledge lesson notes and feedback shared through the Online Piano Portal (Google Classroom) in a timely manner.

Please check for updates or new posts at least twice weekly and respond promptly to any communication, even with a brief acknowledgment. This ensures that feedback is received, understood, and integrated into home practice without delay.

Our studio maintains an open and collaborative communication rhythm, and responses are expected within 48 hours of receiving correspondence or feedback. If a message goes unacknowledged, follow-up reminders will be sent until confirmation is received to ensure continuity and alignment in your student’s learning experience.


Supporting Practice & Progress

– Recommend at-home routine: 5 days a week minimum, appropriate daily duration.

– Celebrate achievements — this builds confidence and lifelong love of music

– Encourage students to create goals, plan for performances, recitals, and milestone events.


Our families are the heart of Con Brio.

Join a studio where learning the piano is a family experience—rooted in encouragement, reflection, and celebration. Together, we help your student build skills that last a lifetime and memories that inspire for many years to come.

Music-making brings people together. It compels people to work together. It demands people listen to each other. It encourages people to express together. It insists people consider each other. It helps people produce something wonderful together. Music-making is awesome-making.
