LEVEL UP
Our Level Up program was designed to give structure and increased authority to your practice assignments, without changing the way you teach. This program will help you motivate your students to work harder than ever, grow your schedule as your retention improves, make your lesson prep time shrink, as well as help keep yourself, your students, and your parents all effortlessly on the same page during lessons!

When it comes time to allow your students the ability to perform and show off those skills they are learning in lessons, Expressions is proud to offer TWO recital seasons a year, Spring (May/June) and Fall (November/December). All students are encouraged to participate (regardless of age or level), however it is never mandatory!
