Help your students’ make their music practice SMARTER not harder!
The ‘Bag of Practice Tricks’ contains 54+ highly effective & fun practice strategies and the matching Practice Log supports their overall progress. With this set you can easily encourage your students to prepare, play and perform better, and with more confidence. It is suitable for a wide range of abilities, from late elementary to advanced levels.
This set includes two fantastic practice tools: ‘My Bag of Tricks’ and ‘My Music Journal’ logbook:
Teach students how to structure their music practice with a ‘My Bag of Tricks’ book. Help them break pieces down, develop a problem-solving attitude, and improve meta-cognitive learning. These music practice strategies will take students from starting a piece, through to deep learning, memorising and polishing it. Playful practice tricks are fun at any age – and these ones are great for any instrument, and especially great for piano practice! We’ve even included 12 practice tricks especially devoted to learning technical work…What a great way to beat the boredom!
Take a look inside ‘My Bag of Practice Tricks’ for teens & adults:
With the same basic information as our original children’s edition, this edition is great for teenagers and adults. Text, fonts and graphics have been revised to interest the older student.
The companion ‘Music Journal’ Practice Log is designed to work alongside this unique ‘My Bag of Tricks’ practice book above. The ingenious music journal fosters a self-regulating attitude in students – and you can make it task or time focused, as you prefer. The eight different sections, including Goal Setting, Practice Stats Graphs, Countdown Calendars, Weekly Progress pages, Campaign Tracker, Practice Strategies, etc, are each designed to give students direction and a sense of achievement.

Reviews
By Beth on (Verified Purchase)
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!
