More Practice Tips
1) Set a schedule for practicing. If your kids practice at the same time everyday, they are more likely practice because they are following an established routine. A routine that gets results includes 20 minutes a day for 5 days per week of practice, with practice times scheduled in the morning before school or when they arrive home from school.
2) Praise your child. Your kids want to please you, so let them know how much you enjoy hearing them play their latest piece. Find something good to say, so your comments are always sincere.
3) Make a YouTube.com video. Instead of sending grandma a card for her birthday this year, consider sending her a video recording of a song just for her. Creating a YouTube.com account, and uploading video is easy. Just follow the prompts.
4) Ask your music teacher when your child's next recital will be. Most teachers offer one recital before Christmas and one in the summer. Music recitals always inspire weeks of good practice.
5) Inspire practice with music practice sticker charts. Kids enjoy being recognized for their effort, whether it is for things like memorizing scales or meeting weekly practice goals. As soon as your child has met their weekly goal, reward them with praise. If that doesn't work, you may have to break open a bag of Oreo's.
