Tips for Parents

• Find a special spot in your home for your child to sing or play an instrument.
• Establish a time or each day to practice their singing or instrument playing.
• Positive feedback for your child will set them ups or success!
• Musical sounds take time and practice, refrain from negative remarks about your child’s playing.
• Take your child to see professional and amateur performances or show them musicals and movies that show positive role models in the music industry.
• Sing and play with your child! My favorite memories growing up are from singing a variety of music with my family.
