A parent's guide to making music practice more enjoyable.
Music lessons happen once a week.
The progress happens in between.
6 Days of Better Practice
I put together six small ideas you can try during practice with your child.
Each day introduces a different way to make practice a little more focused, playful, or independent.
Day 1
A different way to think about what you're trying to accomplish during practice
Day 2
A small experiment in breaking down a tricky passage
Day 3
An idea for giving your child a little more ownership
Day 4
A way to make repetition a little less repetitive
Day 5
A reminder that the clock isn't always the best measure of practice
Day 6
An experiment in stepping back
Hi, I'm Greg!
I'm Greg. I'm a Juilliard graduate, professional musician, and teacher.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about what makes practice actually work for kids, both as a musician and as a teacher. This little series grew out of those ideas.
I hope you find something useful in it.
