August 2007 Piano Newsletter

Back In the Swing of Things

Now that school is back in session and routines seem to be falling into place, consider adding the following strategies to help your child grow:

1. Establish and maintain a regular practice routine for your child. A daily written schedule that you and your child create together has shown to be most effective.

2. Younger children will need more supervision to be certain instructions are understood and followed.

3. Take time during the week to have your child perform for you, just for fun.

4. Have your child teach you! Concepts such as proper hand position, posture, rhythms, or the location of notes are best reinforced by teaching.
