What if my child won’t practice?

I do everything I can to ensure that my students progress at a good rate. However, over the years I’ve found that the students who make the best progress are those whose parents are directly involved in the learning process. What this means is that parents should monitor practice time for at least the first six months, which is usually how long it takes the beginning student to discover how much fun it is to play the guitar. Although monitoring should not be as necessary after the first 6 months, the proactive parent will still want to arrange opportunities for the beginner to perform for parties, reunions, holidays, and other family events.
