| 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 skills and proper technique. If you are interested in obtaining a private instructor for
your child, please contact the Directors for references of good teachers in the area.
