Show your student that you think orchestra is a priority.
Your attendance at concerts and other orchestra events, and your involvement in the RAOC will let your student know that you believe their musical achievement is valuable and worthy of support.
Stay informed of orchestra events and assignments.
Be sure to read the notes and emails sent home. It is the student's responsibility to be at required events and turn in assignments on time, but the parents' awareness of these requirements is a great help to the student. Check the calendar for orchestra events, and plan to attend to support your student.
Encourage your student to practice regularly
Be sure that your student practices regularly. Help them find ways to use their time wisely and fit practice into their daily schedule. Remind them to practice the music they are responsible for in class or on their next playing test. Remind them to turn in their weekly practice records.
Encourage your student to participate outside of the school environment.
Watch for information on performance opportunities outside of the class, and encourage your student to participate. Encourage your student to attend musical performances by other groups. Consider getting private lessons for your student.
