[quote=Anonymous]Does she have a specific teacher you pay or is she just involved with the ES orchestra? If she doesn't have a teacher you should get one and work the amount of practice out between the three of you. Long ago, we didn't realize how little instruction went on with our ES orchestra. We kept asking DC to practice. DC would play the song they were learning in school once, announce that was what it should sound like and that they were done. It sounded pretty much like the song to us but thought practice should be longer. DC, a fairly compliant person, resisted loudly. Eventually, we figured out that DC had spent 30 minutes going over and over the same song during the school day and doing nothing else with their instrument. Getting a teacher helped immensely, for a couple of years, until DC "only" made the select orchestra in MS.[/quote]
