ADVICE TO PARENTS
TEACHING MUSIC TO CHILDREN. LEARN BY WHAT THEY LIKE. It is better for children to be able to play easy pieces well than to play difficult pieces in a mediocre way. Children are taught by what they like. They should also be taught to like what they should like. ■Children practice badly, but it is futile to try and scold them into better ways. Appoint a fixed time each day at which the child should practise. While it is wise to encourage original composition, it is even more important to teach children to listen intelligently. These opinions were expressed by Miss Lettice Loughnan in an address on “Music and Children” given to members of the Parents’ National Educational Union.
