How to Get Your Students to Practice.

I have never had issues with students not practicing.

I've usually had the opposite problem, actually--I've had students who weren't even my students asking me to listen to their compositions or watch them perform. There are untold number of times I have shown up for concerts where I knew no one performing--but they knew me and had asked me to witness their triumphs.

Why?

That answer is in this professional development workshop. It's free.

To jump to the end:

Once you get that, then you can let that go and focus on every other thing that will make students want to practice.

Click on this link and read it for yourself. The audio version is also available. Email me at Lessons@ThePianoInstructor.net and I will email it.

I've included the many ways a student can practice, and have also included studio design considerations. Those are PDFs attached to this post.

There's a lot of information here, totally free.

Why am I doing this?

The semester is starting, and new teachers are already freaking out.

This should help ease their minds.
