The Shore Music Academy inspires local music students to achieve more with the Musical Ladder System® Practice. It's not the most fun word ever created and it's definitely not a favorite activity of music students.
But the Shore Music Academy has helped to solve that age old problem by being the first school at the Jersey Shore to license the Musical Ladder System®.
The music teaching system is being used by music schools across the US and Canada to inspire music students to practice more and enhance their love for music.Similar to karate belt tests, every 90 days or so students
have a test with their private music instructor.
When they pass they receive really cool color wristbands with the name of the level they passed. They also receive a certificate and at some levels a trophy. The Musical Ladder System® has also been a big hit with local
music students and their parents as evidenced by the Shore Music Academy Facebook page which showcases pictures of the students when they pass their achievement tests.
Learning An Instrument: The Importance Of Having A Practice Routine
Saying that practice makes perfect is the truth! Practice is where a budding musician finds their heart, soul and drive for excellence. A good practice routine is what ultimately makes the notes flow.
How Much Time Should a Student Spend Practicing an Instrument?
Consistency is the most important element of any practice routine. Some parents worry that a commitment to a musical instrument will be disruptive to a family’s schedule. However, the block of time
that should be dedicated to practicing an instrument daily is quite reasonable.
• 15 to 20 minutes daily for very young learners.
• 20 minutes daily for learners in elementary school.
• 45 minutes daily for intermediate learners in middle school.
• 60 minutes or more daily for advancing students.
Finding Motivation to Keep Practicing
There will undoubtedly be days when your child is having a hard time finding the motivation to practice. It’s important to not take a negative, dismissive or punitive approach to trying to motivate your
child to get going. It can also be helpful to encourage your child to simply commit to putting in just five minutes when they cannot find the motivation to begin a practice session. Typically, the time will
go by so quickly once your child starts that they won’t notice the full session time has passed!
