Parents please note: Learning an instrument is a very refined, difficult and complicated art that requires an incredible amount of commitment and discipline from both the students and their parents. Students should practise regularly – ideally every day, but a minimum of at least :

3 times 20 minutes a week for beginners and

4 times 30-40 minutes for more advanced students.

A parent should monitor these practice sessions and help their child to achieve the goals as described in the homework books. The process of mastering an instrument for a child is a 3-way partnership between the student, the teacher and the parents and all three need to make an equal commitment to ensure success and enjoyment.
