Important Points for Parents

Include the following tips and you will be well on your way to success:

• Listen -- the more the better!

This is why younger brothers and sisters seem to learn so quickly; they've been listening more than anyone else.

• Be interested, enthusiastic, and encouraging!

Parents must be interested and positive about their children's involvement in music, really like practicing most of the time, take good notes, pay attention in lessons, and so on.  Children can sense any lack of interest on your part.

• Review!

Review should take up one-third to one-half of every practice time.  This is where students gain solidity, fluidity and confidence.

• Be consistent!

Practice every day!  Even if only a little, practice very day!
