Top Tips for Parents to Support Their Child’s Music Journey with BodhiTree

Akshit Sharma

 Embarking on a musical journey is like setting sail on open waters—full of excitement, challenges and boundless horizons. At BodhiTree School of Music, we believe that with the right support, every child can discover their unique rhythm and voice. As a parent, you are the compass that guides your child on this path, helping them thrive and stay motivated. Here are some essential tips to nurture your child’s musical journey and inspire them along the way.


 1. Build a Music-Enriched Environment at Home


 Encourage a musical atmosphere at home by playing various genres, singing together and sharing your favorite tunes. Create what we like to call a “musical ecosystem” that surrounds your child in a nurturing environment for music. Studies show that a music-rich environment enhances creativity and cognitive development (American Psychological Association, 2014)


 At BodhiTree, our home-based music lessons make this easy—your child can learn at home, allowing music to be an integral part of daily life. Itzhak Perlman says, “Music can make you feel at home, even if you're in an entirely different world.” When music feels natural and familiar, your child will be more eager to learn.


2. Encourage Consistent Practice Over Perfection


A steady, consistent practice routine is more valuable than perfection. Encourage small, regular practice sessions so they stay engaged without feeling pressured. The beauty of learning music lies in its journey, where mistakes are stepping stones to improvement


 Cellist Yo-Yo Ma reminds young musicians, “Focus on progress, not perfection.” With the convenience of home lessons at BodhiTree, practice doesn’t have to feel like a chore; it becomes part of a lifestyle that grows with them.


3. Support Ensemble Playing and Musical Collaboration


 Playing music with others is transformative—it’s like rowing a boat with a crew, each person syncing to create harmony. At BodhiTree, we emphasize ensemble playing and collaborations when your child reaches that level. Studies show that collaborative music-making increases empathy and social skills (Rabinowitch et al., 2013)


 Encourage your child to join ensembles or group classes, where they’ll learn the art of listening and blending with others. In time, they’ll experience the joy and camaraderie that comes from creating music together, which is truly unforgettable.



4. Be Their Greatest Supporter


 Your encouragement and enthusiasm make all the difference. Celebrate their progress, attend performances and remind them of their achievements, no matter how small. Just as the sun supports a budding plant, your positivity will fuel their passion and resilience.


We support parents in cheering on their children with regular feedback and student showcases, creating opportunities to celebrate each milestone. Your enthusiasm is the wind in their sails, helping them navigate through challenges and reach new heights


 5. Invest in Quality Instruments and Resources


 Musicians benefit from quality instruments, much like a chef benefits from the right tools. Instruments that are well-maintained and suited to your child’s abilities will keep them inspired and make practice more enjoyable. Think of it as tuning a ship’s sails; the right adjustments make a world of difference


 At BodhiTree, we provide guidance on instrument care and selection so your child has what they need for their journey. Our expert instructors also bring structured and tailored guidance, ensuring they have the resources to thrive.



 Your child’s journey with BodhiTree School of Music is about more than learning notes and chords—it’s a path of growth, creativity and joy. As their greatest supporter, you’re helping them explore the world of music, discover themselves, and develop resilience. With your encouragement and our expertise, they’ll find the courage to keep playing, creating and growing.
