How much practice time is required for my student?

The minimum amount per week for all students (except Advanced Band) is 50 minutes (10 minutes 5 
times per week).  Most students will practice longer than the minimum.
Advanced:  30 minutes five times per week.
These are the basic minimums.  Students are encouraged to practice more.

How can I help my student with the practice requirement?

Be sure to encourage your child to practice the required amount of time.  If
your child needs more music, check out the your local music stores for more
music to practice.  Look for fun music, but also method books, etudes, scales,
and solo selections.  Also, be sure to sign the completed practice calendar.
