Practice sessions at home.

🎻 Understanding Your Role as a Parent or Guardian

You Don’t Need to Be a Musician

You do not need musical training to support your child’s growth. Many families worry that they need to correct mistakes or teach technique — that is not expected.

What helps most:

  • Encouraging consistent practice

  • Creating a calm routine at home

  • Showing interest in what your child is learning

  • Communicating with teachers when questions arise

Your support and consistency matter more than musical expertise.

Questions are always welcome. If you need support with practice, motivation, or your child’s musical growth, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our faculty.

We’re here to partner you and your family
