Practice Pie (Books for music teachers, #4)

Music practice arguments in families are seemingly so ubiquitous that it's become a trope used in sitcoms. But it doesn't have to be this way. Your child can have a wonderful experience with music and you can enjoy watching their progress without it becoming a battlefield.

In Practice Pie, I'll teach you how to support your child in their musical journey. I can't promise it will be as easy as pie (but then, is pie really easy?) but I can promise to make it quick and practical, with a little humour thrown in for good measure.

You signed your child up for lessons because you wanted them to enjoy and appreciate music. You deserve a taste of that fun, too. Let's get baking so we can take a bite of some delicious music practice pie!

"Practice Pie is a charming and accessible book that teachers, parents and students will gain immense benefit from reading! It is full of wisdom and practical advice. I plan to make it required reading for all my piano families!" - Katherine Fisher, co-author of Piano Safari, pianosafari.com

"Learning to play an instrument takes practice and learning to practice takes practice. Nicola Cantan's 'Practice Pie' is the perfect recipe for showing parents how to create tasty practice sessions at home with their children."

- Shelly Davis, Piano Parent Podcast, pianoparentpodcast.com
