'Children Whose Parents Oversee Their Music Lessons May See Improved Focus

A common issue that arrises for parents who genuinely want a musical life for their child is the feeling of helplessness against the often-intimidating and hardly standardized world of music instruction. If the parents aren't musically inclined themselves, choosing the right teacher for the right price (and verifying their quality), can be a daunting task. If the child isn't progressing, who's to blame, the child or the teacher? TheMusicTeach, a helpful music blog catered to anyone mired in the world of music education, wrote an insightful piece that challenges norms, and suggests that parents who oversee their children's music lessons may see improved focus.
