[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My child is at Level 3 at Levine. Should she really be practicing 1-2 hours per day? PP, how does your 8 year old find time for that after school? We have homework daily that can take 15 minutes - 1 hour. Piano, dinner, bath, bed by 8:15. My kids enjoy dinners and do take their time with that and they can lollygag in the shower. But what do we cut out. Here is what a typical afternoon looks like. 3:45-4: arrive home, unpack, wash up. 4-4:45: snack and homework. Sometimes this can go on until 5:15. 4:45-5:30: piano 5:30-6: shower 6-7: dinner 7-8: brush teeth, read 8:15 lights out To get more time in for piano, we'd need to cut out some dinner togetherness or some reading. We also can't make this schedule work on afternoons where a friend comes over. And I still think that that should happen. How does your 8 year old get 1-2 hours of practice in? I am genuinely interested not being snarky. [/quote]
