[PART TWO of an article written by Tracey Leeman owner of Musical Innovations and a long time educator published in the School Band and Orchestra July 2011 issue]
Parents who are encouraging, especially through the difficult times, teach their children to reach out and take risks, to rise to challenges, and to pursue their dreams with confidence. In contrast, parents who say, "My child never sticks with anything", or what I often hear "they will probably drop out anyway", are being unfair to their children and laying the groundwork for a pattern of discouragement. This is true for any endeavor, not just music.
