NOTE – The Music Journal comes with two different versions – the original version which has colour throughout, and a second version which has the same content, but with most pages in black & white, making it cheaper to print.

This music practice bundle includes our back-to-basics ‘Star Starts’ Practice Game – A simple and easy ‘pick-a-card’ game using one of the practice tricks in the Bag of Tricks book.  It helps students get started with a ‘practice tricks’ mindset!

This bundle is a unique way to help students plan out and goabout practicing their pieces in between lessons. It is great for in-person or online lessons – it gives a succinct way in which to share, discuss and itemise practice expectations. And who could resist the idea of transforming their playing with ‘practice magic’!

These 3 books work well together – ‘My Own Bag of Practice Tricks’ expands on the Campaign Tracker section in ‘My Practice Journal’, and the tracker section helps the student be methodical in working through several learning strategies with each piece.
