Hi Natalie,

I just want to thank you for these forms! I’m doing an evaluation for a friend’s daughter tomorrow and was looking for something more in-depth than the form I had.

Thank you thank you!!!!

[...] When a parent first calls to inquire about lessons I use a student prospect form that I use when placing students on the waitlist so I can recall all of their details when I follow up in the future. During student interviews I normally have the parents fill out a questionnaire while I get to know the child(ren) and go through a few musical activities with them. Copies of the student prospect form and the parent and student questionnaires can be found in the printables under forms. I have adapted the questionnaires from ones provided by Natalie on her Music Matters Blog. [...]

Thanks for much for sharing this! I had my own version which I discovered this morning was lost in a hard drive crash! My student was coming in half an hour and I’m SOOOO glad I found this! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this creative survey! It is a great way to communicate your expectations in a professional way. This exercise also gives the student, parent, and teacher a chance to get to know each other in an informal setting. I hope to use this idea in my future teaching.

Thanks Natalie! These are very helpful…I almost feel like filling out the evaluation forms for my existing students, sharing them with the students and parents, and setting goals for the school year.

Thanks Natalie! Is it possible to get all of these in Word format so that we can modify them to fit our studio? Thanks for considering this!

Natalie,
This is the first time that I came across your blog, and boy is it ever helpful! I have not been teaching music lessons for too long, and I love to gain knowledge from other teachers. Thank you for these helpful forms. I do a brief interview, but usually count it as the “first” lesson. So far, it has worked out very well that way. Thank you again for your posts! They are very helpful.
