Dear Mum & Dad,

Thank you for booking a trial lesson at Forte School of Music.
We would like to make your experience with us a really positive one so please take a couple of minutes to complete this 'About You’ page so your teacher can be prepared for your lesson.

This is the first step in our Forte Personalised Learning Program where we customise a learning program for each student to suit their age, instrument, interests, practice time availability, aims and desires.

We ask this general information now so that we can kick off our journey together and to start establishing the all-important student/teacher relationship from the outset.

Thanks

Background

A really good student/teacher relationship is key to learning anything. Discovering common ground really helps. Sometimes we may teach a friend from the same school or your teacher may also be an oldest/youngest child or there may be some other common interest.

Tell us more about your child so his/her teacher can create a connection more easily.

Where do you come in your family?

What school do you attend?

What year at school?

What other activities does your child participate in? (Sport, Dance, Hobbies, etc)

Previous Musical Experience

If you child has learnt another musical instrument before, we will be on the lookout to see how we can fast track them his/her learning. For example, they may already be able to read some notes or understand some of the musical symbols.

Has your child learnt music before or are they a complete beginner?

Learnt beforeComplete beginner

If yes, for how long?

Do you have an instrument at home to play on?

YesNon/a voice lessons

Is your child currently learning any other musical instruments?

YesNo

If yes, which other instruments?

Music in your Home

Often when there is another musical person in the home a child will be used to hearing music being played or practised. This forms part of the musical culture of the home and potential practice helpers. If no one does, not worry, it just clues us in to your home environment and we can give you some tips in how to establish a musical culture at your place.

Does anyone in your household play piano or any other instrument?

YesNo

Please give details (other family players)

The Future

Let us know where there may be some future inkling of extending your child’s musical interests in the band program or orchestra, choirs etc. If your child is keen to join a group in the near future, let us know so we can focus on skills that will help them get accepted into the program.

Does your child want to play in the band program at his/her school?

YesNo

If yes, which instrument would he/she like to play in the band?

We will ask you this question again in more detail when you enrol. Just to help us shape your trial lesson so that your child gets the most out of the lesson… What would you like your child to achieve with his/her music lessons?

Other information (learning difficulties, illness, extreme allergies, etc)

I understand that the information I am providing will be used to guide my teacher in developing my child’s personalised learning program and will only be used by Forte Support & Teaching staff to assist in providing quality music education to my child.*

I understand and agree
