PARENTS:
- Students should practice 20-30 minutes a day for 5 days a week!
- Their assignments will be written in their practice log
- Parents please monitor your child's practicing & sign the practice sheets.
- Consistency in the amount of days practiced helps more than spending a long time practicing in one day. Encourage your child to practice multiple days in a row.
- Remain focused while practicing. Put distractions like phones or tablets away and turn off the Tv.
- Take little bites when practicing. Sometimes trying to conquer entire sections is overwhelming. Try working on 4 measures at a time.
- Practice until you can play whatever section you're working on, perfectly 3 times in a row.
- Break down the material your practicing. Try just practicing the rhythms or the fingerings. Maybe practice the sections without the bow!
- Have a positive and optimistic attitude. You are going to get better and progress!
