Student Practice Guidelines:

Practice that is spaced out over the course of a week is much more effective than practice crammed into a weekend or one night.  Ideally, the beginning student should practice around 20 minutes a night to excel on their instrument, while the seventh and eighth graders should strive for 30 minutes.  With all of the homework that students are faced with, we understand that this is not always a possibility.  When daily practice is not a reality, your child should try to practice at least every other day to maintain proficiency.  Our system motivates students to practice and you should not have many problems with them doing so; however, we are always available for advice should your child's practice amount become an issue.
