Practice and progress go hand in hand. The quality, duration and regularity of practice are fundamentally important to all young people who make music, whether individually or in a group. Practice is most effective if distributed evenly throughout the week: at first in short sessions, perhaps helped by parents or other family members, and then in gradually longer sessions as pupils develop independent learning skills. An important contributing factor to the continued enjoyment, motivation and progress of every pupil is a supportive and encouraging home background.
