Practicing your musical instrument can be a daunting task especially for young children.
These are some helpful tips I recommend to my students :
(a) Leave your instrument case open and accessible, so you see it there and the instrument can be easily picked up and played.
(b) Set a very short time to practise every day. For example 5 minutes at 4:00 pm. Kids often do not want to be pried away from the tv shows they enjoy, but it is easy to play one exercise during a commercial break and one piece during the next commercial break.
(c) Keep your goals easy each day. Choose one difficult part of a particular piece and go over it 10 times in a row. The muscles in your fingers will remember even if you don't!
