Practice

A regular practice schedule is vitally important to the success of the each student. Each instructor will provide guidelines for effective practice at home. The following items are essential. Please be sure:

  • Student has daily access to an instrument that is in good working condition.
  • Student maintains the specified daily (5-7 days per week) minimum practice.
  • A regular practice routine is established and maintained; we recommend the same time each day, free from interference (phone, TV, siblings, etc.).
  • Student follows the assignment carefully.
  • All books and materials are brought to lessons/classes. If appropriate, an instrument in good working condition is brought to the lesson/class.
  • Parent listens supportively to the practice session periodically. Younger students especially enjoy having a parent present (but not necessarily "directing things") in the room during practicing. Parent sits in on lesson, when instructor deems appropriate.
