Who this list is for
This checklist is designed for independent music teachers preparing to enroll a new student before their first private lesson. It focuses on gathering all the essential administrative details needed to start a student relationship smoothly. Use this if you teach lessons one-on-one and need to collect information before any instruction begins.
How to use this list
Begin by contacting the student or their parent to gather the required information. Start with the basics: student full name, date of birth, and parent or guardian contact details. Next, confirm the instrument studied, current skill level, and any previous lesson history. Ask about the student’s preferred music styles and specific goals for lessons. Confirm the agreed lesson length, day, and time. Finally, provide the studio address or a video link if lessons are online. Check off each item as you secure the details.
Common mistakes
A frequent error is missing a parent’s phone number or email, which can delay communication. Some teachers forget to ask about emergency contacts, which is risky. Skipping questions about previous lesson history or current skill level can make the first lesson less effective. Don’t overlook confirming the lesson location—students sometimes arrive at the wrong place or log into the wrong link.
What is on this list
This list includes practical items: student full name, date of birth, parent or guardian name, parent phone number, parent email address, emergency contact, instrument studied, current skill level, previous lesson history, preferred music styles, student goals, lesson length, lesson day and time, and your studio address or video link. Cross off any information you already have from previous conversations.
Before you go
Double-check that you have every detail recorded and accessible. Send a confirmation message to the parent or student with the lesson time and location. Make sure your records are organized so you can refer back to them easily. Being thorough now prevents confusion on the day of the first lesson.
