Middle School Corner
As you and your child progress in this new adventure of music learning, we’re sure you have heard some interesting “musical” sounds and have been struck by the thought, “What is that sound, and what are they teaching my child?” Trust us, this is all part of the learning process! Through it all, remember that learning music is learning about success in life as well.
Please consider the following:
Music study develops critical life skills.
We all want children to grow up happy and successful. Studying music develops perseverance, intrinsic motivation, creative problem-solving, adaptability, and teamwork — all keys to a successful and happy life!
Parents are an essential component in student’s musical success.
At the early stage of your child’s musical development, it is crucial to support your child by guiding them how and when to practice. When discussing music, set aside quitting as a potential option.
Approach music study with a long view.
Students benefit directly from a mindset that assumes studying music is a long-term thing. They can be free of the clutter of deciding if they will continue to play, and get on with the joy of exploring how they will get better at performing. As the parent, you set the tone in your family for the place of music study.
These ideas are “big picture” items, for sure. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more thoughts with you about music study, how to foster your child’s enjoyment and success, and how you can make a direct impact. If these or any of my emails spark thoughts or raise questions, we are ready to help. Please feel free to reach out at any time.
