Follow his suggestion to start with simple music that students can fully attend to and enjoy. Perhaps start with very simple, very short finished products that evoke enjoyment and interest; then, when working with the kids, break the tasks into simple elements that they can quickly master and chain into a whole they appreciate. Record the sessions so they can enjoy their products. I hope this helps -- HM Look at Dr. John Pellitteri’s book on music therapy.

A suggestion is for you to start by answering these questions: 1) Is the homework too difficult or too easy for your kids? Do they struggle with any of it or do they get bored by it? 2) Do they view the homework as interesting or important? 3) Do they have a quiet place to work at a designated time? (See the column by Dr. Louis Pica.) 4) Do their teachers quickly give them relevant feedback on their homework? 5) Have you tried a simple system of applied behavior analysis (an artificial but often effective system to motivate kids to achieve). I suggest you read the articles on homework on our website, under resources. Good luck. -- HM People can’t give you specifics without interviewing you and seeing your situation.
