What to do during the break?

So, as we approach the holiday break and are off for 2 weeks, you might just be wondering what your child should do for practice. We like to make it simple and easy. Honestly, we ALL need a break, so take it! Enjoy the family time and the down time. But don’t completely abandon your instrument. Here are some ideas:

• Practice playing for family and friends. It’s super fun to play for your relatives and friends as well as practice playing in front of an audience!
  
  
  
• Try and practice 3 times a week. Don’t let your mind go to mush, but also enjoy a little less practice.
  
  
  
• Look through your Christmas book (if you have one) and learn another piece to add to your repertoire. Not interested in another holiday piece? Look ahead in your method book and see what you can do on your own.
  ​
  
  
• Look back at your pieces from this semester and play through them.

Enjoy your break and we will see you ready to hit the ground running!! Merry Christmas and Happy 2017!
