Practice Tips

Students receive a weekly lesson assignment sheet that lists the pages to practice or complete for that week. Each assignment sheet also includes a weekly practice log where students are encouraged to record the number of minutes they practice each day. For a student to be successful, he/she must practice on a regular basis. We recommend a minimum of four practice days per week. Practice periods may be 15 minutes for beginners and 30 minutes to one hour or more for intermediate and advanced students. Additionally, children are more successful when the parent takes an active role in motivating the child to practice. For example, parents may establish a practice schedule or reward your child for a productive practice session. Please talk to your instructor or call the Music Lessons Express office for additional tips on how to motivate your child to practice.
