Practice

Practice:

Sufficient scheduled practice time on a daily basis is the surest guarantee that your child, will experience consistent progress at the piano. To learn all the necessary skills to become accomplished at the piano will not occur by simply going to piano lessons. Dedicated practice on a daily basis during the week will allow the student to put to use the skills covered during the lesson.

Parental Support:
Children whose parents take an active interest in their child’s progress tend to be more enthusiastic and productive. I strongly urge a parent to attend the weekly lesson. That way the parent is better equipped to assist him/her with practice at home.

Note to Parents:
Playing the piano is not easy and can be frustrating. Children are not usually self-motivated and do not show self-discipline like adults. A parent that is committed to helping a child learn the instrument will help the student make practicing daily a priority. Often times, this may mean simply reminding the student to practice.

Practice Suggestions:
e Daily practice of lesson material is essential for your child's musical growth.
e Each day should include at least one practice session.
e Several short sessions are preferable to one long session.
e Review lesson material at each session, including any flashcards assigned.
e Keep sessions fun and engaging. If your child begins losing focus, return later.
e Encourage your child to perform for you, your family and friends.
e Be sure to fill in and sign the weekly practice log.
