Time Invested In Practicing Pays Off For Young Musicians, Research Shows

Time invested, money invested....You know lessons are expensive. But, yes, keep in mind the solid investment you are making in your children for their bright future.

Then there's the parenting energy investment! You are trying to be helpful, inspiring, encouraging, positive, and..... something is missing and you're shouting at them to "GO PRACTICE!"

If you are practicing with a child right now and they are resisting then work on your relationship and keep going! In our family we've been through mountains and valleys in playing their musical instruments. For a while I was considering getting a "nag mask" so that they wouldn't hate ME when they would so rather be playing legos or reading their current book. Another time I asked my son for permission to nag him to practice.

Hmmmm. Maybe a website with a million tactics to encourage, entice, convince the kids to practice!

Good luck and keep up the practicing.
