Before your first lesson

Student assessment

Emily reads this before you ever sit down together, so the first lesson starts where you actually are — not with twenty minutes of questions she could have asked in advance.

It takes a few minutes. Only your name and email are required; everything else is there because the more she knows, the more the lessons get shaped around you. Already booked or not, you can fill this in now.

Who you are

Student name

Use the same email you book lessons with and this lands on your record.

Phone (optional)

Age range

Emily teaches middle school age and up.

Parent or guardian name (optional)

Only if the student is under 18 — so Emily knows who to reach.

Where you are now

What do you want to work on

Emily teaches keyboard and voice, so both together is an option.

Your experience so far

How long you have played or sung, and whether you have had lessons before. Starting from scratch is a perfectly good answer.

Are you serving on a worship team right now

Do you read music

There is no wrong answer here — it just tells Emily where to begin.

Instruments you play or own

Including what you can practise on at home — a keyboard, a piano, or nothing yet.

Where you want to go

What do you want to be able to do

Think eight to twelve weeks out. Something specific — lead a set, sing harmony without losing your part, play through a whole song.

Worship music and artists you love

Emily builds lessons around songs you actually want to sing and play.

Realistic practice time each week

Be honest rather than ambitious — the plan gets built around the real number.

Anything you are hoping to grow in spiritually

Optional, and only as much as you want to share.

Anything else Emily should know

Nerves, a scheduling constraint, an injury, a story behind why you want to do this.

Only Emily sees this. Two required answers; the rest help but are up to you.

Rather email her

Questions before you fill anything in? Write to Emily directly.

Prefer the Google Form?

Use this instead — the same questions, answers land in Emily’s spreadsheet rather than on your student record.
