[quote=Anonymous]When my DS was in middle school, he usually did the minimum practice required to get an A on most of his practice records (180 minutes - he counted the 45 minutes he spent in a private lesson). There is so much improvement in playing when a kid goes from once a week sessions in ES to daily classes in MS, your kid might find they enjoy playing more as the year goes on. In HS, his director just has them do a "practice recording" - a video of them playing an excerpt from music the orchestra is working on. As a junior, he practices 5-6 days a week, still takes lessons, and mostly works on the music his private teacher gives him. He also does jazz band and pit orchestra, so he may not be typical. Music is his main EC so I encourage him to do a lot of it (but would never force it).[/quote]
