Time To Practice

This week we're discussing the idea of music practice as quality time: quality time with your child (if you're involved in their music practice), quality time with our instrument, or with music we love and we'll hear from three parents who share how they think about music practice as quality time in their house. 
If you have a story like this to share, please reach out, because I will be sharing more examples in a future episode!

As we enter the new year, this short episode is meant to give you food for thought as you set your goals or intentions for your music life in the new year. That could be for your own music practice or for your child(ren) involved in music lessons.
Whenever you listen, I hope it gives you some good starting points to think about your own goals and intentions for the coming months.

It's a busy time of year. It seems teachers, students and families alike are go-go-go. I am hitting pause this week to share 6 things keeping me motivated, inspired, and engaged in music over the last couple of weeks. My list may look totally different than yours, but I hope in listening to mine you can connect with what would go on YOUR list and that we all remember why we do what we do. Happy listening!
