- You have a genuine ambition for your child to become a confident musician and a contributing member of the CBOI in the future
- You can commit fully to the schedule of lessons on Sundays
- You understand that it will be essential to practice daily at home with your child in order to keep up with the class
- You understand that this is LONG-TERM. We don’t want anybody joining to ‘try it’ for a few weeks and then give up, thus depriving a serious student of the opportunity. This should be discussed at home.
