[quote=Anonymous]Our solution to this problem was let the teacher handle it.I told the teacher, she has to practice or we are quitting. The instructor had a long talk with her about it, they began to relate on a personal level for how boring it is to practice (it's a discipline, no one likes to practice) and they made a deal. Sit at the piano for 10 minutes 5 times and week and play whatever you want. The teacher is a genius because once the time expectation was lowered to a manageable level and she could flip through the pages of the book, my DD started to enjoy her practice time. Then, teacher added 5 minutes of playing the pieces she's assigned. She will add more time until my DD reaches 30 mins. no more nagging and she's practicing more. [/quote]
