music, then you UNDERSTAND music, finally you CREATE your own music.

This book is the FIFTH BOOK in the PLAYING section.

teacher should write a brief description in the “notes” section, of the things you

should work on in between lessons. This gives you a clear outline of what to

work on, as well as how far you have come.

• At the very back of each book is a checklist of information that you should

understand before moving on to the next book. And the COMPLETION page,

stating that you learned all of the info on the checklist.

• Upon completing each level/book you instructor will notify the office and we will

send you a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION and the book for the NEXT

LEVEL.

What you should expect when your teacher gets to your house.

while the lesson is conducted.

• Your teacher should ARRIVE ON TIME, and should leave on time.
