My lovely 8 year old is waiting until the last minute of each day to practice. It's getting on my nerves because the practices are anything but productive when she's rushing through each piece to get done before story time. I've tried to instigate the after school practice, but she's so exhausted from the day at school and I believe she needs down time. Unfortunately for us - after her down time is when I start to teach and I'm not there to monitor any sort of practicing. I've been reading the Maurer's String Book and they mention practicing twice per day. This is my project this week....to get her to practice twice: before school, and after dinner.

I'll let you know how it turns out...
