as mentioned in our newsletter no. 3, a few parents have reported they encounter difficulties when trying to support their child's home practice. as there is about a ton of articles covering the issue on the internet already, we are not going to write another essay here. however we would like to offer parents a helping hand.
dear cooperative parents, when you sign up your child for instrumental or voice lessons, you inevitably enter the triangle student-teacher-parents, the base of your child's musical education apparatus. in order for the latter to provide the necessary healthy support, each part must take full responsibility and cooperate with the other two. without that, your child's progress is nearly impossible.
here are a few points and tools to help you and your child :
 * provide your child with a decent instrument and place it in a comfortable area rich of light and free of noise and distractions.
* practice habits must start developing after the initial lesson. explain to your child from the very beginning that learning to play an instrument includes practising at home. practice is not optional just like cleaning your child's teeth, taking a shower and doing school homework aren't.
* set practice time for your child, preferably at the same time every day. 
* it is important to practise every day, starting with 5 minutes and gradually increasing the amount of time. do not skip days and do long practice sessions afterwards to compensate.
* sit actively in lessons as much as possible, take notes to refer to when it is home practice time.
* follow the teacher's homework assignment notes and ask for clear elaboration when you do not understand something.

finally, we would like to say a big thank you to the lovely mrs. and mr. go - the parents of piano student sonata love go, who have provided great support in bringing irina gorin's "tales of a musical journey" materials all the way from the usa for our anticipating students to begin working with as of the start of academic year '14/'15!

no, that's not the spiral teddy's chair, it's too big for him! however this wooden footstool, our newest asset's size is the precise one for our youngest piano students to rest their feet comfortably during their lessons at the piano. 
interested in signing up your preschooler for a free trial lesson? check out the wunderkeys program we offer to children ages 3-5.
~
we look forward to returning after a week of a winter break, when - apart from moving further with our classes - we will start the musical encounters ~ musikalische begegnungen concert series, giving our audience the chance to enjoy a variety of musical genres performed by outstanding musicians. to follow our programme please bookmark our upcoming events page.
