- Show an interest in the
music study of your child.
- Arrange a regular time and
place for your child to practice without distraction or interruption.

responsibility of being present and on time to rehearsals.
- Give your child a safe
place to keep their instrument.
- Help your child to maintain
their instrument in good repair.

play in front of others when the opportunity arises at home, school,
church, or in the community.

child's various music activities.
- See that your child takes
their instrument and music to school every day.
- Demonstrate your support of
your child's musical efforts by attending concerts
