Practice Expectations
Please encourage your child to practice their instrument at home for at least 15 minutes at least 5 times each week. Students need to practice to strengthen muscles needed to play their instrument. Practicing also helps solidify skills learned in lessons each week. Students who consistently practice make significantly more progress on their instrument than students who do not practice. Thank you for your support!
