In this episode, Dave breaks down how to make progress visible, make practice doable, and keep joy high—so families stay enrolled longer.   In this episode, you'll learn how to: Spot the early warning signs of parent doubt and stop churn before it starts Turn “practice battles” into simple, repeatable routines kids can follow at home Make weekly progress obvious to non-musician parents between recitals Use quick communication rituals that build trust without adding teacher workload Reframe lessons so parents see them as an investment, not an expense Align your school around the 3 Ps—pleasure, practice, progress—to lift lifetime value   Perfect for: music school owners who want higher retention, happier parents, and a calmer home practice culture.   davesimonsmusic.com

Is my child ready for music lessons? Join Kristina Campos from The Impactful Parent as she sits down with Michael Hensworth, a music school owner and author of "Mr. Michael's Music Maker Manual," to discuss a common challenge for parents: knowing when their child is ready for music lessons and how to keep them from burning out. In this insightful conversation, Michael emphasizes that musical aptitude is not just an innate ability but something that can be developed through early exposure. He shares practical advice for parents, explaining the key developmental milestones and signs that indicate a child is prepared for formal instruction. The discussion highlights the importance of sustained interest in a particular instrument and warns against the pitfalls of trying to force a child into an instrument they don't love. The video also tackles the critical topic of practice and motivation. Michael and Kristina offer strategies to avoid the dreaded "nagging" cycle and instead foster a positive and engaging approach to music. They explore the different learning styles children have and the need for adaptable teachers. Michael also provides a refreshing perspective on burnout and quitting, suggesting that it's not a failure but sometimes a signal to change a teaching method, try a new instrument, or simply take a break. He shares his own story of leaving and returning to music, demonstrating that a flexible approach can be the key to a lifelong love of music. Michael's book, "Mr. Michael's Music Maker Manual," is introduced as a valuable resource for parents navigating their child's musical journey. The book is available on Amazon, and you can get a free chapter on The Impactful Parent app. This video is a must-watch for any parent considering music lessons for their child, offering a roadmap to a joyful and impactful musical education.
