Policy of Mutual Respect

What we believe:

We believe as musicians and artists that the Academy’s environment is one where
all students can reach their full potential.  To reach that full potential, musicians
need a setting where they can take risks and feel confident that they will be treated
with the utmost respect.  

We apply this every day in our teaching.

Fellow students have a role in each others’ success, too.  This comes from
supporting each other and treating each other with respect, whether during
academy activities or in school or elsewhere.   

What we expect from our students:

We expect our students to treat their music instructors and each other with respect
at all times.  We expect our students to encourage each other musically and to
never ‘put down’ another academy student regarding their musical ability or
performance.  

Violation of this policy may lead to a student being dismissed from the academy or
being restricted from participating in group events.
