Practicing... sometimes fun, sometimes a chore. Parents, your
children do need you to nag them because there are often days when other things
would be more fun, but the practice must be done. MINIMUM is 5 days a week for
20 minutes -- more if the student wants to progress and become a really fine
player. Rehearsals and lessons do NOT count as practice. On a busy day, have the
student do 5 minutes, just to keep in the habit.
Practice is not just running over pieces, it is working carefully and slowly
over small sections of the music, over and over and over again. For suggestions
on efficient practice see the section,

Practicing. Even if you are not a musician, you can help your
child by asking him/her to play for you and encouraging working on tough spots.
