Best Practices to Encourage Longevity in Music Excellence and Passion ⭐️⭐️
1. Fall in love with music, together.
2. Provide outside opportunities to see live music and arts in public places where others are also enjoying it! Ex. The Ballet, A community holiday event/parade, The Symphony - they have great matinée rates for students!)
3. Give opportunities to practice in a calm and quiet space in the house, regularly.
4. Encourage different ways of practicing after following teacher instructions (can they do it backwards? Can they do the first 5 notes with Lego?)
5. When it gets hard and boring (which it will), encourage, but also give breaks and break it up!
