Practicing:
Practicing daily is crucial. An intense daily practice schedule is not always realistic. Practice is not always done with the instrument. Listening to your CD in the car or while eating breakfast is considered part of practice. Keep practice consistent and make it part of your daily routine if you want to see progress and success. The parent involvement with scheduling practice is very important to the younger students who lack the self-discipline to plan their day.
“You don’t have to practice every day, only the days that you eat.” –Shinichi Suzuki

Group classes are available if we have at least 4 students of similar age/ability register together.
