[quote=Anonymous]For both piano and violin our teachers have requested at least 5 days/week of practice and then not so much a time committment as practicing each song a certain number of times (usually 3 or 4). If you aren't practicing several days a week taking weekly lessons is pointless. The lesson is where something new is introduced. Practice is where the learning happens. At that age I had to remind 2 of my 3 kids to practice but didn't get push back. One of them was (still is) entirely self-motivated. Note they aren't practicing 2 hours a day. It's more like 15-20 minutes plus extra random moments when someone will plunk down at a piano and just start playing for fun.[/quote]
