EXPECTATION - YOUR CHILD'S PATH TO SUCCESS
I emphasize the importance of parent involvement in your child's practice.  Studies have showm the kids who excelled are the ones whose parents are involved in their pracitce.  Therefore, it is important to encourage them to practice.  I have a motivation system in my studio.  Depending on the child, it might be necessary to have a system at home also.  
 
Practice Makes Perfect!!
