Why Continuing Education During Summer Is Important!

Ah, summer!  I don't know about y'all, but I absolutely cannot wait!  I know that my kids can't wait, either.  

However, if your child is already in a music program, it's a good idea to try to keep that momentum throughout the summer.  The reason why is simple:  Music and math are not like riding a bicycle.  If it's not continuously applied, students tend to forget even some of the most basic skills that they've learned throughout the school year.  

I can tell you about this, first hand.  I remember that I sliced all the way through my hand back in 2001.  I had to have a fun little procedure called tendon repair surgery.  It was the pits.  Anyhow, I was not able to practice for the better part of six months (no, it SHOULDN'T take that long to heal, but I disobeyed the doctor's orders, tore the stitches, and they had to do it again.  TOTALLY my fault).  As a result, not only was I rusty as far as coordination goes, but I was rusty as far as sight reading went, also.  Music has always been my passion, and I found that time period to be very upsetting.  

Kids see the summer as unlimited video games, TV, and time to spend with friends...  But, now that I have my own kids, I see the summers as an opportunity for continued education, in addition to the fun.
