Music Practice Tips to Help Parents

Our favorite practice tips! 💖

Parents can do so much to help encourage their child's music practice. Here are some of our favorite tips as we prepare for recitals:
​​​​​​​​
✨ Make a practice schedule - pick a consistent time of day to establish a routine.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✨ Let children play music they truly enjoy - playing songs they like is an impetus for practicing more.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✨ Be their cheerleader! Being enthusiastically involved with positive reinforcement goes a long way.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✨ Be patient and kind - learning an instrument can be challenging and if there is a bad day of practice, there is always tomorrow.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✨ Declutter your music area - a cluttered space can be distracting while practicing. A calmer area encourages longer practice times.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✨ Turn off the TV! Try to limit noise distractions. ​​​​​​​​
