YMI: Parent Chat is a conversation about supporting your child in his/her musical studies, motivating your child to practice, managing at-home practice time, what to do if your child is interested in pursuing a career in music, and more. You should ask frank questions and get feedback from amazing professional musicians: Lucinda Ali-Landing (founder of the Hyde Park Suzuki School) and Herb Smith (Trumpet/ Conductor).
