| Q. |
How can I help my child with his/her
music education? |
| A. |
Having your child participate in their
school music program, if one is available, is very beneficial to
their music education and is highly recommended. Also, private
lessons offer one-on-one instruction and are essential in developing
and refining playing skills and proper technique. If you are
interested in getting your child a private instructor, please
contact the director for references of good teachers in the South
Bay area. |
