- Encourage your child to PERFORM for you at DIFFERENT times of the day
- Always encourage your child with positive comments, ex: Thank you for performing for me, I'm thankful you chose to play in front of me today; I'm hear improvement each day; I can see you are really focusing on your music; keep up the momentum of practicing!
