On this week's episode I'm sharing 9 ways to spark motivation for young musicians with their music practice. There may be some new ideas, or they could be good reminders and help you take an inventory of something you know helps your child, or your students, but haven't incorporated in a while.

Megan Orton is a Suzuki trained violin teacher, a parent, and owns Mindful Media where she shares about screen time and parenting and helps parents and caregivers make smart decisions about screen times in their homes. 
We have a great conversation about how low efffort - high reward ativities like some kinds of screen time can make it hard to transition into more deeply focused work like music practice and some ideas to think about as you navigate screen time and music practice (or talk to families in your program who do).
