Summer Recitals

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
SUMMER RECITALS AT UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS

Saturday, June 6th, Sunday, June 7th , Saturday, June 20th, Sunday, June 21st, Sunday, June 28th

Please begin speaking with your teachers regarding participation in the recitals. It is easy to overlook the benefits of performing when we are so focused on the lesson-by-lesson, week-to-week gamut of our children’s music education. So let’s also take a look at the big picture – how does preparing one’s child for performing benefit him or her?  Performance opportunities can provide a student with confidence, give a them a goal to work towards, and allow them a platform to be themselves and have fun! 

Countdown to San Francisco!

Back to School!

The back to school season can be hectic. Sometimes simply getting back into the swing of things takes some preparation. Here are some easy tips to ease the transition!

Lock down your practice schedule

Lock down your schedule

Most kids respond well to consistent schedules, so use a calendar to ensure everyone knows what activities are expected each day. This includes both lessons and practice times! Also consider including a rewards system that will help make the connection from consistent practicing and hard work to beautiful musical results.

Set realistic expectations for practicing

Set realistic expectations for practicing

Make sure everyone is on the same page! Younger children may need shorter practice times compared to older children. Also, if your child is overtired from school and other activities, try to reschedule a time when they are well-rested and enthusiastic for learning music.

Befriend your child’s music teacher

Stay organized

Come to music lessons with all the essentials! If your child is especially forgetful, consider creating a checklist and posting it on the door.

Befriend your child’s music teacher

You are more than welcome to sit in on at least the first few lessons, which will help ease anxiety and also allows you to get a feel for their teaching style. Communication is key for everyone!

Music Practice Journal

Don’t forget the practice journal

A practice journal can be an incredibly valuable tool, when both student and teacher are using it effectively. Sit down with your child and review the journal each week.
