Music Practice Kit | ‘My Bag of Tricks & Music Journal’ VALUE Bundle

Help your students build clever and intelligent music practice skills. Teach them how to PRACTICE SMARTER… not harder!

This BIG VALUE Teacher’s Bundle includes all three of our Practice Books. Get a multitude of music practice ‘tricks’, or strategies, for both younger and older students. This special bundle also includes a progress-boosting Music Journal (aka a Practice Log book) AND a FREE practice game!

The two most common causes of students quitting music lessons are lack of progress and performance anxiety. And as teachers we know that practice is the answer to both these issues. But how can we get them to see practice as a benefit not a chore? Well, a big part of this is to teach them how to practice in a way that is fun and engaging. This BIG Practice Bundle makes that easy, giving you the tools you need to quickly ‘gamify’ their practice time, and engage their natural curiosity in the practice process.

This set will encourage your students to prepare, play and perform better and with more fluency and confidence. Capture your students’ imaginations with this ‘practice magic’ concept to give them long-term, self-motivated, intelligent music practice habits.

This practice kit is suitable for a wide range of abilities, from late elementary to intermediate and advanced. With a built-in problem-solving attitude, it encourages goal setting and progress tracking. This set equips students to tackle any repertoire, not just method books. (Although these strategies are just as useful there too!)

Included in this BIG VALUE Music Practice Bundle:

1 – ‘My Bag of Practice Tricks’ – Children’s Edition: 

• A compact & colourful book with 43 great practice strategies, written in an engaging conversational style. Make it easy to teach your students how to practice more effectively and efficiently. Such an important skill in a modern child’s busy life!

Banish the boredom – Imagine teaching your students how to learn MORE, without endless hours of tedious practice which they dread.

Most importantly, these music practice books are custom designed to work effectively & efficiently together:

Our ‘My Bag of Practice Tricks’ books expand on the Campaign Tracker section in ‘My Music Journal’. In return, the Campaign Tracker section helps the student be methodical in working through several learning strategies with each piece. And in addition to this, the BONUS ‘Star Starts’ practice game connects to one of the essential ‘tricks’ in the practice books. This gives students an easy and effective way to start improving their practice immediately!

What a UNIQUE and effective way to teach students how to practice through the week, in between lessons. It is great for both in-person and online lessons, and also for group classes. This set gives teachers and students a succinct way in which to share, discuss and itemize practice expectations and achievements.

Students love transforming their playing with ‘practice magic’…!
