The music is social

If one of the main reasons why we play music with other musicians or enjoy an audience, because we need to ask the students (particularly) young children, but in practice all the time? The music is fundamentally social and students more motivated to practice when the music teacher helps the students as part of the social music experience.

For example, there is always jam session. Students getting together to play and for each other regularlyhelps students to interact with other musicians adults. The informal session will feel like the more social, rather than a formal representation. For example, the teacher could have students play duets, trios and rounds with the other. A jam session could also be an opportunity to teach folk music to be heard.

Another way is to provide students with a social experience with the music to a friend, who is with the lessons. IfGive a half hour to an hour, two students, one could really take the time, and any harm twenty minutes of instruction and then spend twenty minutes on the music of the two can play together.

Often, you can have two students attending the same school. Perhaps the students can meet after school to make music together, play reinforces the most important musical skills to play with other people and are very motivating.

If aParent or other family member listen, then play that music in the classroom. A parent who plays the guitar by ear can accompany folk tunes, so are great to set a good tone and intonation. It is helpful if parents something different from the students, so that the sessions are working better than formal social parents, practical guide to play.

Create a small group of students and positions that can be found playing. If you have a group of students who playFolkways are many nursing homes and retirement centers host their shows.

Couple to an older student with a student younger, as a fellow of practice, once thought of living the association of students who are close to each other. There's nothing like the ability to help a person learn about it. Older students will be to strengthen their capacities. Younger children respond well to an old friend.

All these ideas need time and organization, but if they become part of your practiceas parents, music teacher are the benefits of fasting and probably will be willing to pay a small amount more for their children to get involved. Your students will be more musicians who are motivated, their instruments because of the advantage that you play the social nature of music.
