The start of a new teaching year is coming, and we don’t need to tell you that the craziness begins long before the first student arrives.
If you don’t have an action plan, you are about to answer a thousand emails.
Get ahead of the flood with a late-summer email! Parents often miss important details shared in June, leading to a barrage of questions come September.
Here’s a late-summer piano parent email template to help you communicate effectively with your studio parents and save yourself from a deluge of last-minute questions.
A Late-Summer Piano Parent Email Template
Dear Piano Parents,
I hope you are having an enjoyable summer filled with adventures and memory-making.
Wow! What a wonderful summer I have had so far! Aside from a little bit of relaxing, I’ve also been doing a lot of reading, learning, and planning as I prepare for another exciting year of piano lessons.
A lot of information was given to you when lessons ended in June. I know it was a busy time for everyone, so this email is to touch base with you about September Start-Up in the hopes that it arrives when you have a moment to write some things on your calendar.

Practice Expectations
This year, encourage your child to practice daily, aiming for at least 15 minutes per day (ages 4 to 6), and 30+ minutes per day (ages 7 and up). Consistent practice is key to their progress.
Lesson Preparation
This year, ensure your child arrives 5 to 10 minutes before lessons begin with their materials and any questions or goals they have for their practice.
Parental Support Tips
When the fall term begins, help your child by setting up a practice schedule, creating a distraction-free practice space, and providing positive reinforcement.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. I look forward to a fantastic term filled with musical growth and fun!
