PRACTICE
Practice at home is very important !
Please, talk with your child about a practice schedule of at least 5 - 10 minutes every day if he a is beginner
or 20 - 30 minutes ( or more ) if he has been learning the instrument for more than 2 years or when preparing for the Royal Conservatory of
Music (RCM) exams.
Divide the time of practice during the day and week, rather than practice everything in one day.
The benefits of music in the brain and body come with daily practice.
Besides the practice of the instrument, there are more exercises and theory requirements to achieve; therefore, your child will need your
help to go online and practice. The support of the parents is very important.
If your child wants a special song, let me know ahead of time ( at least 2 months ), so I can have the music ready for his level in the
instrument of choice.
A good quality musical instrument is necessary for your child to advance and sometimes he will need extra things like:
theory books, other instrument books, metronome, music stand, tuner, extra strings, instrument bag, a touch sensitive piano with 88 keys
and pedal, etc... please, start planning ahead to get those things, when you notice that your child is serious about learning to play an
instrument.
Thank you for your support and help in keeping the music school in Harmony
