ON PRACTICE ....

How long should a student's practice period be?
​

ANSWER: Long enough to cover the assignment, short enough to stay within the student’s attention and interest span. For this reason two short periods are often better than one long one, especially for young children. Don’t insist on your child’s remaining at the piano for a specific length of time. From the outset your emphasis should be not on how long he or she practices but on how much he or she accomplishes. Ideally, the clock should enter into practice only as a starting point. When they have completed the entire outline for their daily practice, they are through for that day. The thing to remember is this: practicing is not a matter of time spent, but a matter of mind spent. - Frances Clark (1905-1998)
