Voxman Practicing: Tips for Parents The following tips for practicing come from, Sound Choices: Guiding Your Child's Musical Experiences by Wilma Machover and Marienne Uszler. "Practicing is a learned skill, so it shouldn't surprise you if your child needs your help . . . You and the teacher will need to be partners as you help your child lean this invaluable skill." "Plan ahead. Your child needs you to help her plan her time." "Same time. Same Station. Every day. Help your child to weave practice into a pleasant daily routine." "Do Not Disturb! Your child needs your help to keep the practice time free of interruptions from siblings, TV, or other distractions." "Sing Praises. Your child needs frequent and honest praise. Praise effort. Praise good posture. Praise knowing the right finger or note. Praise getting to the instrument withought being reminded." "Hear Ye! Be an attentive, appreciative listener." "Use [audio or video recording devices] to monitor progress."
