ARE YOU FRUSTRATED BY YOUR STUDENTS' LACK OF PRACTICE?

Do you wish your students and their parents would recognize the importance of piano practice at home?

Like all piano teachers, you know the value of practising regularly. You understand that practice is vital to progress. And you are trying really hard to get your students to understand that too. Maybe you have some students who take practice at home seriously, but overall, busy schedules get in the way and too often, lessons become practice time.

And this leaves you frustrated. Frustrated because you want to teach your students so much more than just the same pieces over and over! You want your students to be well balanced in repertoire, theory, and technique while also exploring other aspects of music like improv and composition. But lesson time ends up becoming a practice session because students have failed to take the time at home to prepare their pieces.

You know that there are ways to teach piano lessons that don't revolve around the amount a student practises and maybe you have tried to be more flexible with your students by not requiring practice and instead including more theory games or improvisation. Maybe you work on sight reading or aural skills more often because of your student's lack of practice.

But you still wish you could do something that would improve your students' practice habits.

When you try to ignore your students' bad practice habits, you end up feeling frustrated and wondering if these students will ever really progress. Unable to figure out a solution that both parents and students can be on board with, you may have given up. And instead of feeling excited to teach these students, you dread their lessons and what their parents may say when progress begins to slow.

You know practice is important, but you don't know how to impart that knowledge and desire to your students.

You're not alone.

The truth is that how you introduce practice habits to your students is vital to their future progress.

The problem? You struggle to get parents to understand. Your students have gotten into a routine of bad practice habits, and you don't know how to flip the situation. You need a system in place that takes the stress off practice while also improves student progress.

What if you could end the lack-of-practice frustration and get parents and students onboard?
