Synopsis
A humorous, yet no-nonsense how-to guide, Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn't Have To! offers hundreds of ideas and tips to help beginning to intermediate students, their families, and their instructors approach music lessons and practice with a positive outlook. Teaching students to have realistic expectations and objectives, this book provides tools to help students derive the greatest benefit from practice in the shortest amount of time, including suggestions for how to find a good music teacher, definitions of the difference between practice and playing, and specifics about how to practice, how parents can help, and what should never be done. Sdoia-Satz and Satz have written this book for parents, teachers, and students in a concise, easy-to-read, playful style with tips that cause the reader to say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
