I have a hard time making my child practice piano at home. Should I let them quit?

A large percentage of students quit before they realize their real potential in music. Nevertheless the truth is usually the parents giving up before their children do. Ask yourself: do you prefer practicing and drilling to shopping and playing?

Parents must remember that practice is not an option to students who learn to play music. There should be at-home rules and schedules, like time to go to bed and time for meals, dedicated to just practicing the instrument students are learning. A child’s success in music learning owes a big part to parents’ participation and support. Prioritize their activities. If you do not want to put music study on top of your child’s list, you had better rethink whether you want to take on this commitment to help your child maintain a healthy and productive learning habit so that the student can really enjoy the music and see the results.
