Here are some tips on keeping those hard-earned skills sharp, even if you are not currently taking lessons:
1- schedule time each day to have your student sit and play. Have them play their old songs they have already passed off, or have them make up their own music!
2- have a family Zoom recital, where anyone can perform anything they want! Readings, poetry, magic tricks, and your child's music would make a fun family-and-friends online event!
3- have your child teach you how to play their instrument. They would love being the teacher and know-it-all for once!
4- for those with mobile instruments, get some pieces ready and go perform from your front porch. Music can lift the spirits like nothing else.
5- Google "printable music games." There are so many fun options available!
Stay safe everyone! We teachers can't wait to teach your kids again when this is all over!
