[quote=Anonymous]Orchestra teacher and parent of a 7 year old musician here. Practicing IS hard. For my students, I tell them 15 minutes a day 4-5 days a week minimum. Do it at a set time each day. For my own child, no screen time until he's practiced... but I also sit and play with him (and have him take formal leasons with another teacher). Can you learn along with your child so you can play together? It's much more fun to practice with someone than alone. If not, my other suggestion is to treat it like homework. Needs to be done before going onto 'fun' part of their day.[/quote]
