Making Summer Count: Why Encouraging Practice Pays Off
Many parents want their child to learn an instrument, but feel hesitant about pushing them to practice. It’s common for music teachers to hear, “I don’t want to force my child to do something they don’t want to do.” But here’s the truth: nearly all kids resist practicing at first, just like they resist doing math homework, brushing their teeth, or eating vegetables. And just like those habits, practicing an instrument is a discipline that pays off over time.
Parenting thoughtful, confident, and well-adjusted kids takes a tremendous amount of daily effort. We know how full your schedule already is, especially in the summer when routines are more relaxed and the days fill up fast. But summer is actually one of the best times to start or continue music lessons. Without the added pressure of school, many students make their biggest leaps forward during this season.
As your child continues their musical journey, something amazing happens: they start to take ownership. Practice becomes less of a chore and more of a personal goal. With your encouragement early on, they’ll develop self-motivation, grit, and the kind of discipline that will benefit them for life.
So this summer, give your child a gift that goes far beyond the season. Encourage consistent practice, and you’ll be investing in their confidence, creativity, and character.
