PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Preparation: The first person to prepare is yourself. Be sure you read "Nurtured by Love" and "Ability from
Age Zero" (Dr. Suzuki). For home piano practicing, you will need a piano, an adjustable chair and a footstool.

KEY POINTS TO SUCCESS
These four factors will ensure that your child makes progress. Success is a self-fulfilling concept. If we help our child
to succeed, more and more success will happen!
CONSISTENCY:
Listen to the tape daily. Your child heard English
for about 10,000 hours before they started to speak!Observe lessons on a regular basis. Spend some time at the piano every
day.
REPETITION:
Listen to the tape daily. Only through massive repetition will your child be able to play from their
own internal knowledge. Encourage your child's natural love of repetition. Usually a child wants to repeat until s/he has
truly mastered a skill.
JOY AND HUMOR:
Playing music is a joyful experience. Keep a sense of perspective. Don't get
too serious! Your child will learn to play, so have some fun along the way.
