Our boosters are a wonderful group of people who devote a considerable amount of their time to help raise funds for our program and organize events.  They are always looking for parents who want to help with bake sales, concert set-up, student management, event planning, chaperoning, etc.  Please send an email to loscerritosmusic@gmail.com if you want to help as a booster.

Musical Progress?
 

How can I help my child make musical progress?

Making progress on an instrument is as simple as spending a consistent amount of time practicing each day.  It’s important that you help your child establish a daily practice routine and make sure that they stick to it.  At least 20 minutes per day is recommended.  Your child’s musical enjoyment, success and personal satisfaction depend on it. Listening to classical and jazz music at home will help accelerate the process.  This helps your child learn what their instrument really sounds like.  It will also open up a whole new world to them not available through mainstream "pop" music.
