Learning to play a musical instrument is a lot of work. Many children start while they are young and continue to play throughout their whole lives. However, some children start playing an instrument only to quit later in life without reaching their full potential. Although there is no magic formula for creating a musical prodigy, there are some things that parents can do to help encourage the child to stick with their instrument and love music.

1. Let The Child Choose Their Instrument

Many parents dictate the instrument that the child can choose. For instance, the parent might feel that piano is an important instrument, so they make it a non-option for the child to take piano lessons. Although the child may have loved piano, it might not be as effective if the child chooses their instrument on their own.

If there are certain instruments that you simply cannot do, or afford, then remove that from the list of options. But you should have at least a couple options for the child to choose from. This way the child feels like they have a sense of control and they can choose what they want. Take them to a local outlet, such as Wilmington Jewelry & Loan, to help them choose.

2. Practice In Small Bursts

For young children, sitting for a long period of time can be very hard. They might not be able to focus on their practice for more than a short amount. If you try to make the child practice for long spurts they might being to resent the fact that they have to practice.

Practicing in short bursts can be as effective as practicing for long amounts of time. It will also make the child feel like they don't have to spend as much time practicing, especially if they don't like it.

3. Find The Right Teacher

Another major factor in keeping the child committed to their instrument is to find a teacher that fits their style. All teachers have different teaching styles, and all children have different learning styles. This is why it is important that you find a teacher that gels with your child. Just because the child doesn't enjoy a musical instrument with one teacher, doesn't mean that the child doesn't like music as a whole, it may just be a bad fit.

Listen to your child. If they are complaining often about their lessons and can't get along with a teacher, try switching before giving up on the instrument.

These are just a couple tips for keeping your child committed to music.
