Thank you for allowing your child to pursue one of the most rewarding activities that could carry on as a lifetime skill for them - learning an instrument!​

 

Contrary to what you might think, you do not need to be musical to help your child succeed in their musical journey. What children need most is encouragement, routine and help getting started.

The tips/advice in this guide are designed to:

​

• Help your child to progress, particularly in the early stages

• Explain why practising between lessons matters

• Explain what “Practice” actually means

• Encourage you to consider signing your child up to a PDMC ensemble if they're not already

​

If you ever feel a bit stuck or feel some extra advice would be helpful, your child’s teacher will be very willing to help you to help your child succeed.
