Advice required on behalf of son

Author: BeckD
Date: 2007-01-05 12:40

Hello everyone.
I am hoping that someone might be able to give me some advice on how I can help my son with his practise.
He is nine, and has been learning Clarinet for about a year. He has had lessons at school, but after the Christmas Holidays, we returned to find that his teacher has sadly suffered a minor heart attack and will not be able to return to work for about five to six weeks.
My son is keen to continue practise at home as normal and has decided, rather touchingly, that he wants to improve enough during his teacher's absence to be able to play him something that will make him happy when he returns. My son struggles with the instrument as he is still quite small, and yet his teacher has so much faith in his ability to learn this instrument that I want to help my son to make him smile when he is well again.
Unfortunately, neither myself, nor my husband, are particularly musical (apart from enjoying listening to it) and do not know what sort of things we can give him to work on.
Can anyone give me some advice as to what would be a good way for him to not only maintain the level he is at, but also maybe give him some improvement that would bring the smile to his teachers face that my son wants to do. I have purchased some of those practise books with CD's for him to work to and am starting to try to learn some music theory so I can help him but have no idea what else I can do.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
