How to have a
cooperative Home practice session?
-
Four reasons to practice
1. Simply love the music, or fun playing
2.
Peer pressure
3.
Rewards and consequences
4.
Someone makes them to practice
-
Remember
o
Children
like to PLAY an instrument, they don’t like to PRACTICE
§ The process of repetitive practice is
biologically and psychologically opposed to a child’s nature
-
Teachers usually pay attention those issues during the lesson.
o
Praise
with concrete detail. – But you don’t have detail the reason.
o
Just talk
what is going on right now.
o
Explain as
short as possible
o
Not
praising their result, but praise their efforts and process
o
Do not
praise too much
o
Praise as
soon as students are able to do it.
o
Don't
tell. Give suggestion, or ask.
o
Don’t be
emotional. If students cannot do it, they
are not ready.
§ Simplify the issue.
-
Three important factor
o
Never
lose self-control
§
Slow, quiet voice– don’t be emotional at all
§
Speak as short as possible – one sentence/word
o
Don’t
tell, but give suggestions and ask until they get it
§
But focus only one issue.
o
Give them
extra time to process
§
Provide quiet time to process
§
Don’t make them to do fast. They need extra time to do things.
§
When doing any kind of new things, the brain
must decipher a great deal of information simultaneously
If you frustrate, children are frustrated also. When you frustrate, stop what you are doing,
or tell children to do a different task.
