Book a Coaching Session!
Why?
It’s 4:30 pm and it’s time for your son to practice piano. When he started piano lessons, he was enthusiastic about practicing and made really good progress, and he had fun. His teacher was proud of the fast advancement he made.
Now it seems like practice time is a chore and you fight to get him to sit down at the piano. When he finally does sit down to practice, he mindlessly goes through the easiest material to get him through the practice session. It no longer feels as though he is making any progress. And it’s no longer fun.
You need a practice coach.
Piano teachers will tell you that parents can spend years in this pattern. And if you keep going in this unproductive routine, your child could resent the piano or you.
A practice coach is specifically trained to assist students through the practice session by:
1. Giving Them an Appointment To Keep
Often kids don’t practice because they forget. Sometimes they forget on purpose. But having an appointment to make with someone other than their parent puts social pressure on them to get to the piano and practice.
2. Making Practice Time Productive
Kids aren’t different than adults. They are inclined to the path of least resistance. But progress is made with challenges, which are resistance by definition. A practice coach will make sure realistic, attainable and specific goals are achieved so that practice sessions are productive.
3. Keeping Practice Time Friendly
Practice times can be overwhelming when you don’t know how to start. Practice coaches help by walking your child through the routine, with patience, and a smile. This means he will feel comfortable and happy when he sits down to practice.
A practice coach is the solution to the problem of unproductive and unhappy practice times. book a session with a coach to see how it helps you.
