How to keep a child’s interest in learning music?

Many are familiar with the situation when a child enthusiastically starts studying at a music school, but after a couple of years wants to quit everything and talks about the “musician” at best with boredom, and at worst with hatred.

How to be here?

Learning anything is a lot of work, and music, which is not mandatory for everyone, requires effort and daily practice, is especially difficult! And if your child’s only motivation is “I study because my mother wants to,” then he won’t be enough for a long time. As practice shows, for a couple of years, while he is still small.

Why is he studying music? Ask him this question himself – and listen carefully. If there is a goal, it is clear and understandable, then everything is simple: support it, show how to achieve it with the help of classes at a music school and at home, help with advice and action.

It is a little more difficult if there is no goal as such, it is vague or does not motivate enough. Your task in this case is not to impose your own or some worthy, in your opinion, goal, but to help find your own. Give him a couple of options and see what happens.

Just remember: whatever the goal is, it must not be yours. This should be your child’s goal.
