Tuesday, July 7, 2020 by April Davis | Announcement
Welcome Event
Our annual snack and sip welcome event will be Sunday, August 23, from 3:30-5:30pm. There will be wine, artisanal water, and light hor d'oeuvres. This event will happen as long as the state of Texas is in Phase 3 of the reopening plan or greater. RSVP by logging into the student portal at www.davisrrtx.com or call/text me. All fall enrolled students and their families are encouraged to attend.
Group Ukulele Classes
Lessons will start the week of August 23. Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4-5pm are reserved for a group ukulele class. There is a group ukulele class for both elementary and middle school students and there are discounts available! Learn more here:
Individual Piano Lessons
Piano lessons are available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9am to 7pm. Lessons can be in studio or online via Google Meet. Students can choose either option at any time. Once you've contacted me to lock in your lesson time, it's yours for the remainder of the school year. It can be changed as long as there is availability. Call or text me at 512-222-7640 to pick out your time! *
Tuition will be due September, October, November, and December. There will be no tuition payment in August. As before, all lesson materials like method books, warm-up books, CDs, etc, are included. In most cases, the student is receiving a full book; however, occasionally the student may receive printed material. There are 16 lessons over the fall semester. We will take a week off for Thanksgiving and conclude December 16.
What's new
- I've added a second Roland digital piano! It's brand new with some great features for teaching.
- I've added an iPad music theory work station!
Students are encouraged to come to lessons 15 minutes early to utilize the practice piano for warm-up. There is a headset available with disinfectant wipes; however, students are encouraged to bring their own ear buds or headphones with 3.5mm plug.
Students are encouraged to stay after lessons up to 15 minutes to utilize the theory station or spend a little more time on the practice piano to solidify the technique and songs just learned. The theory station has a studio-paid app where each student has a profile and the theory lessons are customized by me. I'm very excited to bring this new benefit to you! This activity also has provided headphones, but the student could benefit from bringing their own.
During this extra time, students are expected to remain respectful of the lesson happening with other students. The pianos and music theory station are set-up at the recommended 6ft distance apart.
*A deposit of $40 is required to hold the lesson time for any student not enrolled in the summer semester. It will be charged to the card on file at the time the spot is booked.
Sars-Cov-2 Response
Luckily, a lot of the recommendations were already in place at the studio! For instance, students wash their hands upon entering and the piano is disinfected between each lesson. All students have the ability to opt for in studio or online lessons.

- Additional disinfecting of commonly touched surfaces
- Studio rearranged to allow for increased physical distancing
