Musical Next Community with Barbie Wong 

 

This week on the Time to Practice Podcast we're having a conversation with Flutist, Music Educator, and author Meret Bitticks. 

In our conversation we talk about her journey as a musician and what practice looked like for her when she started in middle school band and how it changed over the years, making our practice progress tangible, and about practice from teacher, parent and student perspective. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Barbie Wong and I recently had an interesting discussion on the topic of rewards and incentives that we recorded for the Time to Practice podcast, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts. You can join us in the Music Nest community for ongoing discussions, live monthly meetings, and coming in January a fun 30 day practice challenge!

We want to preface this discussion by acknowledging that there are many, very valid, opinions on this topic and we invite you listen to some of our ideas and the ways we have wrestled with this topic ourselves and want to acknowledge whatever you decide for your own family, or teaching practices, is totally up to you what you decide to do related to rewards and incentives. It is perfectly fine to disagree with us and we respect everyone's position on this hot button topic.
