PARENT'S CORNER- Practicing My daughter enjoys playing in the band, but she has difficulty making herself practice and she is easily distracted. What can I do to help? The best thing to do for your child is to create an environment where practicing is easy to arrange: TV is definitely out if effective practicing is to be accomplished. Control the TV so it does not tempt your daughter to neglect her music. Practice should be done at a regularly scheduled time. Try to keep it at the same time every day. It is best to choose a time of day when things are relatively quiet and when there is not a lot of other activity going on. Encourage your child to practice. No need to nag; however, friendly but persistent reminders can actually be quite supportive. Set up and attitude where your daughter can feel free to practice even when you might prefer "peace and quiet". Make it your responsibility to see that your child practices. Parents can use firm resolve to insist on what they know is best for their child's musical training. And that resolve should be maintained regardless of the frequency, length and volume of the resistance. |
