"... the parent really carries the burden to make a committed practice fun and joyful..." Aint that the truth!! Easier said than done though, particularly when you've got multiple children and multiple instruments involved. My angels are 8.5 and 5.5 and we haven't quite got to that stage of independent practice, although we're working towards it. So for me, learning a musical instrument is a twice daily commitment on the piano (which normally takes 45 mins before school) and another 15 mins on the violin *sigh*
And now my eldest wants to learn the flute!!!!!!
