Recitals are not mandatory but highly encouraged. Recitals help to keep students motivated and inspire each other. They are a great way to connect with fellow musicians and support and encourage each other.

No experience is necessary. We love teaching beginners at Farkash Music Studio!

Consistent practice is the key to successfully playing an instrument. Young beginners should practice at least 20 minutes a day. Older and more advanced students should practice at least 30-60 minutes a day depending on their musical goals.

We begin accepting students at age 4 for piano. Flute and oboe students usually begin around age 9, but it depends on the individual students. Some are ready earlier. If you are not sure, please schedule an introductory lesson and Farkash Music Studio can help you determine a student’s readiness.

Consistent practice is necessary to successfully learn a musical instrument. Therefore, you must have an instrument at home. If you do not have a piano, a small keyboard can work to get started. If you are on a budget, the recorder is very inexpensive and a wonderful way to gain a strong musical background. Farkash Music Studio can help advise you if you need help acquiring an instrument.

When you become a member, you are committing to an 18 week semester. If you decide not to continue for the following semester, you must notify Farkash Music Studio in writing at least 30 days before the following semester begins. If you decide not to continue lessons before the end of the semester, you are still responsible for paying for the remainder of the semester.

The annual studio fee helps to cover operating costs and expenses of the studio. Some examples are recital fees and preparations (programs, refreshments, facility rental), piano tuning, reed tools, instrument repair, website maintenance, sheet music, method books, solo literature, video editing software, music teacher association fees, teacher travel, and continuing education.
