Can parents attend the lesson?

Parents are welcome to observe

You are absolutely welcome to sit in on your child's online music lesson. For younger children in particular, having a parent nearby can make the lesson more comfortable and productive. It also allows you to see how the lesson is going and support practice at home.

Required for students under 18

For students under 18 we require a parent or guardian to be in the room for the first lesson with a new teacher, and to remain nearby and within earshot for later lessons. For younger children, sitting in the same room is ideal. This is good practice for any online educational activity.

Let your teacher know

It is a good idea to mention to the teacher before the first lesson that you plan to be present. Most teachers are happy with this and it sets clear expectations from the start.

Lessons take place online in your home

All MusicStudio lessons take place via video call. The teacher does not visit your home. You are in a familiar, safe environment throughout, which gives parents a great deal of control over the lesson environment.

If you have concerns

If anything during a lesson makes you or your child uncomfortable, end the session and contact MusicStudio support at team@musicstudio.com. Your concern will be taken seriously.
