This week we are talking about music practice with violinist, parent, music educator, and the co-director of the Southside Suzuki Cooperative in Chicago, Andrew Miller. Andrew shares his musical journey, from starting violin at age 14 to becoming a violin teacher, parent of young musicians, and his current role at Southside Suzuki Cooperative. He discusses the importance of group music-making for motivation, as well as the unique challenges and rewards of practicing with his own children on violin and cello. Andrew shares practical advice for parents on managing practice time and creating a positive practice environment - I can't wait for you to listen!
