Isn't there someone or something that can answer my questions? “You want your child to do well so she feels good about herself…” “I want the best for my child, yet I feel helpless…” “What if my child gets too nervous and doesn't want to perform?” Where exactly do I get some clear answers?” You know how to help your child with Math and English, but music?!?!? You ask some friends who have children in Band, but they are just as clueless as you are. You try to call or email the band teacher, but she doesn't get back to you because she is teaching all day.

How can you guide your child if you're confused too? You didn't receive a time for her to play, you don't know where you are going, you don't know how long it will take or what you need to bring. It's now a week before your child is supposed to be performing at this Festival thing. You saved the day and are your child's hero! You frantically look on YouTube for a performance video to help her out, and luckily, you find one. It's 2 weeks away from NYSSMA, and your daughter comes crying to you because she is barely getting through her French Horn solo. So you happily hand in your check.Īfter all, you want your child to get into the best colleges, and maybe this NYSSMA thing will help her get an edge and get accepted to her dream college, and maybe even get a scholarship. You heard from some of the parents that students who perform well at this NYSSMA thing can get into All-County and All-State. You have no idea what NYSSMA or a Solo Festival is, but your daughter signed up.
