Info for Parents
Practice:
We believe that parents should be actively involved in their children’s learning process. Parents are welcome and encouraged to observe the lessons. A young child cannot learn and master the complexities of the piano without parents’ consistent time and devotion to “playing” at the instrument with them. Success at an instrument can only come with daily practice. While lesson time is important, the major part of the work has to be done during practice time.
Suggested Practice Time:
- Beginner (year 1) – 30 minutes per day (two 15-minute sessions)
- Intermediate (year 2-4) – 30-45 minutes per day (two 20-minute sessions)
- Late Intermediate (year 4-6) – 60 minutes per day
- Advanced – 60-120 minutes per day
Studio Recitals:
Throughout the year we will host recitals where the students can perform for their each other and their families. These events are mandatory as they provide musical growth and motivation to continue working toward a goal. We encourage every student to perform as much as possible, for family members, for friends, at church and at school.
