Updating Your Studio Policies | FULL VOICE Live Office Hours 15

Updating Your Studio Policies | FULL VOICE Live Office Hours 15 Studio policies are one of the most important documents you need to have as a teacher. They’re more than just a list of rules—they set the tone for your studio, outline expectations, and communicate your values as a professional. But writing (or updating) them? What do you include? How much is too much? How do you make them clear and kind without being vague or too flexible? *Nikki Loney* dives in and answers teachers’ questions on this topic that often feels overwhelming.
