Sommario/riassunto

In this candid and detailed book, more than 150 veteran music parents -- including the parents of top professional musicians -- offer advice on walking the music-parenting tightrope, addressing everything from choosing an instrument to choosing a college program, and how to be supportive but not overbearing. Their experiences appear beside those of dozens of music educators and more than forty professional musicians.
