In my forty-plus years as a private music instructor, the question I'm asked the most by parents is: "How can I get my child to practice?" And, in this crazy-busy time, it gets asked even more! In this discussion, I will give you answers to this question, as well as a heap of advice on helping your young musician/singer/dancer become the very best s/he can be! Put these strategies to use and you will be helping your child maintain an endeavor that will last a lifetime and provide joy, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment along the way!

If your child is expressing interest in music lessons, the question you're probably wondering is: Which instrument will be the best fit for my child so that he or she can get good at it and keep it for life? This question is hugely important! Children benefit from music in so many ways — 36 percent higher math scores, 14 percent higher IQ, increased poise, confidence, and concentration... to name a few—so choosing the right instrument will enrich his or her life like no other activity. In this audio, educator and musician Stan Munslow will tell you everything you need to know in order to make an informed and educated choice with your child... and reap all the rewards for a lifetime!
