Summer is just around the corner and we all know what happens during summer… that’s right, practice drops to the bottom of the priority list. And I don’t blame you - the warm months here are short and sweet and the beach is calling. But remember, if they don’t practice in the summer, it will make it that much harder for them to pick up where they started come September. They will be rusty and this may discourage them. Practices don’t need to be an hour every day, it’s just important to practice every day, even if it’s just for 5 minutes! Most times, if you tell a child they have to practice for 5 minutes, they will play willingly for longer once they get started. Picking up their instrument and getting started is the hardest part.
So here are some fresh ideas to keep your daily practice up and your young musician feeling motivated, even throughout ice cream and camping season.

You can listen at the pool, in your yard, while doing crafts, working on a workbook, playing with sidewalk chalk or blowing bubbles, while cooking together, playing with legos, etc. The list goes on. When you put your mind to it, it’s so easy to include their listening music to multiple activities.
Today I want to share with you a brand new practicing activity - paper planes! Children love paper planes and it’s something you can do whether it’s sunny outside or not. Plus, there is no planning or buying supplies necessary - changes are you always have paper or scrap paper lying around.
