FAQ

Does my child need to practice every day?
‍While every child is different, consistency is key. Aim for 20-30 minutes of focused practice most days. We provide helpful strategies to avoid nagging battles over practice time and make it enjoyable for everyone!
‍
‍How are Musical Ladder® tests rehearsed?
The test itself is created as a collaborative effort between the instructor and the student. Then, the last 10 minutes of each lesson are dedicated to rehearsal. We rehearse for about six weeks (exactly like one would for a concert). You will know well in advance on what day your teacher has scheduled the test. Your child will head into each test feeling confident and prepared.
‍
‍What if our schedule changes, and we can't make a test?
‍No problem! Scheduling is flexible, and we work with busy families to find the best time for Musical Ladder® tests. The tests take place during your child's lesson, so rescheduling is simple. Btw... parents are always welcome to sit in and observe the test!
‍
‍Are trophies "participation awards?"
‍Not at all! Trophies are given every three tests as a true acknowledgment of your child’s hard work and dedication. They’re earned, not given, and your child will be proud to display them!
