Practice
makes perfect!
The idea is simple: repetition and time-in-hands is the key to
mastery! I feel that 15 minutes per day is reasonable
and sufficient for a beginner to keep up and progress on any instrument.
More is better! When appropriate, I suggest students leave their
instrument out and assembled while at home, but kept in a safe,
easily accessible place. This promotes a spontaneous 'grab-and-go'
opportunity of enticement, which will present itself much more
often than if left in it's case. Download a practice log here,
fill it up, bring it in signed by parent etc., get credit!
This is part of your grade!
