Often in music lessons, the student goes to the teacher once per week, completes the lesson, is given homework for the week, and then sent off on their own and it is assumed that the student will do the work - the piano teacher, most of the time, doesn't play a larger role.
However, some teachers give more value to their students, and continue to keep track of their students' progress during the week.
"Progress is made each day, little by little, not 4 hours of last minute cramming the day before the lesson. I want my students to know that I will be watching and holding them accountable even outside of class," she said.
Gellatly uses online software designed specifically for her piano students, in which her students can keep records of their practice schedules and what was practiced.

**And for those students or parents have a difficult time affording this, Lee offers piano lessons for free on a referral basis. Ask her for details on this.
Extra courses offered:
For those who want a little bit of an extra boost in their understanding of music, Gellatly also offers tutoring in music theory and solfege ear training. Solfege is essential for any student who is considering music school - it allows musicians to compose sheet music without the aid of a standby instrument for reference, the ability to "hear" sheet music as it should sound within the imagination of their mind, and reinforces theory as a "hands on" experience.
