Motivation

Adults/Parents often asked me how do I motivate my child/myself. The short answer: I can’t, but I may be able to inspire them with your help.
1. Why do you value music study?
2. Do the musical preferences and the content of the lessons match? Remember exposure = preference.
3. Does the student have time in their schedule to succeed?
4. Do you like music? Do they like music?
5. What was the last live concert you attended with the student?
6. What music does the student hear at home?
7. Has the student learned to expect immediate gratification of every desire?
8. Is their instrument in good condition?
9. Do you attend lessons with the student?
10. Do you know how to help your child/yourself master the fine art of practicing?
