“My kid doesn't practice. When he does, I'm too busy to sit with him. I have no idea what he has done, let alone if it is done correctly! “

“Soccer coach makes sure my son practice between matches. There's no one that does the same for music! I want to but don't have the time. I work and I have 3 kids!” 

“My aupair used to sit with my daughter to practice piano. My new aupair is not music literate. My daughter doesn't practice and her teacher complains her progress is suffering.”  

“There is no fixed weekly time I can schedule for my son to practice. Between his hockey practice and matches, my daughter's gymnastics and their Kumon math, I simply can't lock in a dedicated session each week even if I can afford to pay his violin teacher to do an extra practice session with him.” 

“Life was definitely not that full on for my parents when I was a kid! I know without practice between classes my daughter might as well  just give up on the cello. I play the piano so I know. But I simply don't have the time to do that regularly with her.“ 

“Can't find someone good who knows what they are doing to supervise practice. I had a college kid at one stage, but his schedule changed and we can no longer find a time that works! It's too expensive to pay the teacher more than once a wk!”

“My daughter loves the violin. She practices on her own but practice the wrong thing …doesn't find out till next lesson by then she has to unlearn what she has been practicing!”

“My teacher offers practice sessions. But in between the kids' sports schedule, I simply cannot fit in yet another thing I have to drive to!”
