If you're looking for ideas of what to do over the break, may we suggest a musical activity? Whether it's a jam session with your piano kid, finding a local show or concert to attend, or sitting down together to listen to a new artist or album you each are enjoying, how can you connect with and celebrate your piano kid's musical journey while you enjoying some downtime?

If piano practice is starting to feel like the same old routine over and over, this #fridayforte is a reminder to shake up your practice routine!

Some quick ideas:
-Assign each of your books a number, then roll a dice to see which of your assignment gets practice next.
-Try interleaved practice by coming back to revisit the same piece a few different times in between practicing other assignments.
-Work on a piece from back to front, one line at a time.
- Get SMART with your music, listen to episode 295 for ideas.

Do you have any great tricks for avoiding the groundhog day effect in piano practice? We'd love to share ideas in the comments!
