Practice (almost?) every day.
Unless it becomes a habit, this maybe a challenge. There are many ways we can encourage children to practice. Some creativity tools we can use to get through each practice session.
1. Colorful cards or drawings that describe practice instructions.
2. Song Lottery! Use your luck to choose what song youβll play today.
3. Build your task as a domino and after you complete all, you can knock them down, literally!
4. Make them take part in their practice! Stamp daily progress with the child's own choice.
5. We love stickers! We can use it to mark tasks as complete or to animate our bow and violin during practice.
6. One step at time. Practice equals fun when each step is a journey.
