The Jerry Evans School of Music loves this article because it encourages communication between parents and children. There are few things more important than an affirming word from a parent. This article will explain, although you may know already, why music lessons are so important – even beyond the practice room! Hopefully, it will also help you be able to articulate to your children the importance of practicing. Practicing can be tough when you are young! But as this article says, you grow stronger from your failures and hard work beets talent.

“Practicing a musical instrument helps children learn the universal truth that hard work trumps talent.”

So, help your children be successful in life beyond music. Encourage them to keep at it! And check out the article I’ve been writing about from the blog The Music Parents’ Guide. It’s well worth the read!
