Tips to encourage your child to practice playing a musical instrument

It never ceases to amaze me how much difficulty some parents find in encouraging their child to practice playing a musical instrument. Very few younger aged students will practice of their own volition. Not many five year old kids will say to their parents “Now please excuse me, I am about to head into my room to practice the piano for the next hour or two”. However, we have found that the more actively parents are involved, the more the child will feel there is a reason to practice.

"I LOVE the 7 Tips you have sent out. Its perfect. Parenting is a tough gig. All children are different. You and Kerry and Lou (and of course your team with Kay, Zeita, Racheal & Nicole) form part of the village that help to raise and shape my 3 children. You really do offer a different perspective on our kids and it's nice to see them through someone else's eyes occasionally. It's also wonderful that they know you all and trust you all and respect you all so if you chat to them about something they know to respect what you have said and take it seriously. Its so wonderful."

I highly recommend Julie Logan Music for early childhood music education - I was not fortunate to learn music as a child and wanted my children to have the opportunity I did not. I feel very luck that I stumbled over Julie and I knew as they were attending the program (one still is and the other finished last year) that they were learning something they would have for the rest of their lives regardless of whether they decide to learn an instrument. My older daughter (8) has now started learning the piano (her choice) and my partner thinks she has already surpassed his playing of two years in only 5 weeks. Her teacher also comments on her quick progress. An added bonus is we have never had to ask her to practice, she plays many times throughout the day often transposing keys and improvising. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to any parent and apart from the fantastic music education, the teachers are patient, kind and friendly!

Thanks Annette. We love that you have given your girls this start and love hearing them sing and play around Newcastle! Feeling proud :)
