Some parents are concerned that the discipline of daily practice inhibits creativity and enjoyment.
That's like saying that learning how to do something takes away from the fun of doing it! The opposite is true. How much fun is tennis if you can't hit the ball over the net? To express their creativity, students must master the basics. By learning a wide repertoire of skills, students become more skilled at making the desired sounds, and therefore they are better able to express their creativity.
