Practising
Students should be practising their instrument regularly outside of class time to reinforce the concepts and muscle memory needed to become a successful musician. I do not collect practice logs as I've found they don't always accurately reflect the learning which has taken place. Students learn at different rates. Some may master concepts quickly while others need more time. Generally speaking, I find students are successful and able to keep up with the class if they practice 3-4X a week for 15 minutes at a time.
I do ask that parents set up a regular time at home for your child to practice. Here is a guideline of How to Practice which proves to be useful. It is something we will be going over in class.
