New Year, New Musical Goals

The start of a new year is the perfect time to set fresh goals — and that includes musical ones! Whether your child is just beginning lessons or has been playing for years, setting small, specific goals can keep practice fun and progress on track. Instead of broad resolutions like “get better at trumpet,” try something measurable such as “learn one new song each month” or “practice five days a week.” Little milestones add up to big improvements over time!

For parents, this is also a great opportunity to get involved in your child’s music journey. Set aside a few minutes each week to listen to their progress or help create a practice chart. Encouragement from home goes a long way toward building consistency and confidence.

At Menchey Music, we love helping families turn musical dreams into lasting habits. Whether it’s renting the right instrument, joining a lesson program, or finding new repertoire, our team is here to support your student’s growth all year long. Here’s to a new year filled with great music and new accomplishments!
