BIG Value Music Practice Kit | Inspire Better Student Practice

Teach Smarter Practice Skills – Build Confident, Independent young Musicians

As teachers, we all know that good practice habits are the key to progress. But we also know how often students struggle with motivation, lose focus, or simply don’t know how to practice effectively.

That’s why we created this BIG Value Music Practice Kit—a collection of ready-to-use music teaching practice resources that will help you guide students toward smarter practice, better progress, and more confident performances.

In fact, did you know that the two biggest reasons students give up music lessons are lack of progress, and anxiety about performing? As teachers, we know that consistent, intelligent practice is a big part of the solution to both these problems, but the challenge is helping students see practice as a benefit, not a burden. That’s where this BIG Music Practice Kit comes in—it gives piano and instrumental teachers a complete set of engaging music practice resources with tried and true strategies to ‘gamify’ practice, spark curiosity, and build confidence. Most importantly, it keeps practice positive and encouraging—helping students develop long-term, consistent habits without guilt-tripping them (or their parents).

This music practice kit is suitable for all levels, from late elementary to intermediate to advanced. With a built-in problem-solving attitude, it teaches students how to set goals and track their progress. This set equips students to tackle any repertoire, not just method books. (Although these strategies are just as useful there too!) From one teacher to another: these are the practice tools I wish I had when I first graduated music school and started teaching.

This music practice kit is designed to:

• Reduce frustration by giving students clear, step-by-step piano and instrumental practice strategies
• Make practice deeply rewarding with game-like practice strategies students can actually enjoy (without minimising the quality of their practice, or being ‘babyish’!)
• Boost confidence and fluency for recitals, competitions, exams, and performances
• Help you keep students motivated and progressing between lessons
• Support learners of all ages—children, teens, and adults alike

When students feel empowered to tackle their music practice independently, progress follows—and retention improves. This bundle gives you everything you need to make that shift in your studio.
