[quote=Anonymous]I don't have direct experience with piano competitions, so I'm not sure how long her practices should be. Seven seems so young, but if it is her only extracurricular it could be fine. My thoughts: If she enjoys her half hour, start with just practicing an hour a day (or start with an extra 15 min) and see how she does before beginning a competition. If the hour long practice becomes a chore, go back to half an hour. Putting extra time into piano will mean she has less time to play and play is still really important, especially if she gets to play with friends or siblings. I purposely kept my kids out of a ton of extra curricular activities and I'm glad that I did.[/quote]
