You’ve tried to keep practice time positive. You’ve had great days and pull out your hair days. You’ve even tried pleading and bribing. Perhaps you've even lost your cool? (Most parents have!)

​

You might be wondering if you’re actually cut out for being involved in your child’s practice. You feel like it shouldn’t be this hard and you wonder if it will ever get easier.

​

The reality is many people find practice with their child frustrating and give up. Others push through, but their relationship with their child suffers.

​

This is too high a cost to pay, and it doesn't have to be this way!

 

As a parent, I’ve been there too!

I understand how hard it is. I struggled to practice with my own children, and  as a new teacher and had a clear and idealistic picture of what practice should look like.

 

It came as a complete surprise that my children could enjoy playing the instrument  and yet hate to practice with such intensity.   

​

Daily arguments, stalling, wasted time,  and even tantrums were the norm when I first started practicing with my children. Honestly some days I didn’t have the energy or patience to follow through and make them practice at all.

​

Years of trial and error, reading experts’ advice, teaching music, speaking to parents, and learning everything I could about how  to improve practice time have turned things around for my family, my students and their families.

​

I want this for your musician: positive, peaceful and productive practice sessions at home.  This is why I am on a mission to equip parents, just like you, to transform practice at home.
