Classes & Homework

Is this a drop-off program?

No. Foothill Homeschool Musical Arts is not a drop-off program. Parents are required to stay on-campus with their children.

What materials/books do I need to bring to class?

Once you register, instructors will contact you about what to expect on the first day of classes and what books/accessories you will need. Please connect with your instructor before purchasing and/or renting instruments.

How much practice should my child do each week?

For beginners, we recommend a minimum of 20 minutes per day, six days per week. Although this is the absolute minimum recommendation, students will progress faster and remember more if they are able to practice more often. Short practice sessions done several times per day, every day, works out much better than longer practice sessions a few times per week. For young children, the practicing goes much better if the parent supervises.

Do I need to bring my own instrument?

Yes, you need to bring your own instrument to class.
