Practice Help

Practice can be a struggle for those learning to play an instrument at any age. We have put together some helpful tips and resources on this page to help you navigate adding practice to you or your childs busy schedules. Below you will find links to some helpful webpage articles on the importance of practice and how to more easily incorporate it into your life.

Practice involves goals and an action plan.

Playing only has one goal: getting to the end of the song.
