Practice Kit - Triple Bundle: What a wonderful bundle! This collections of resources is great for any musician looking for methods to use in their practice session. The text and images are engaging for all musicians. On a personal note, I reached out to the seller with a question about the product and they responded promptly. Overall, a wonderful interaction and experience. This bundle is well worth the purchase!!
I am so glad I found this set of practice books. My students have been enjoying the easy-reading style of the Bag of Practice Tricks, and I have been enjoying seeing their improvement, and renewed interest! The Music Journal has made it easier to direct their practice through the week. and it's a great way to track their progress too.
'Recital Shakedown': A fabulous game, that is easy, inclusive and good for lots of laughs. Good to take the edge off of getting up in front of people to play, whilst secretly doing performance practice. :)
Star Starts Game:
My students have loved using these Star Starts cards. I printed them and put them in a little kit I made up, to help them get inspired about practice. An easy and fun way to remind them to start in different places, not just at the beginning. And it's working - Nice & easy!
We have used both the Music Journal and the Bag of Tricks, and found them to be helpful in practice and goals setting and tracking progress. My daughter uses a diary for each instrument and finds it helpful in tracking progress in each of her pieces and the practice tricks to enable her to continue to move forward with renewed momentum and ideas. Valuable asset. Thanks
Key Signature Bundle: I used your 'Key Signature Tutorial & Digital Board Game' set with my choral students!! Thank you so much!
Key Signature Bundle:
I have seen students of various levels comprehend all the key signatures in one to three lessons. An excellent product, would definitely recommend.
Ear Training Games Duo BUNDLE:
I have used this to teach interval ear training in my musicianship class, and also with individual students for their piano exams. It has certainly made it a lot easier for students to remember the sound of each interval! (And they thought that playing a game in a lesson was pretty cool too.) I'm happy!
Practice Book Set: I am so pleased with how this pair of practice books work together to inspire my students to practice! And best of all is that if they get 'stuck' to know what to do with their pieces & scales etc mid-week, they can very often 'un-stick' themselves, using the Campaign Tracker in the Journal & the long list of practice 'tricks' detailed in the Bag of Tricks book. Well done, I am thrilled!
Practice Book Set: A comprehensive productivity tool! Between a book of practice strategies, and a practice log this is a complete practice kit!
