This resource is one of the most valuable I have purchased in all of my years of teaching. It is visually appealing, organized well, and easy to read. It provides basic music notation explanations for parents. In addition, there are tips for implementing great practice habits, setting up the practice space, and includes fun practice ideas for their students! I am looking forward to putting this into the hands of all of my current and future students as a standard part of my intake process!
The Parent's Guide to Piano Practice is a great resource to recommend to parents in your studio. It gives clear guidance on how to help students establish a practice routine and even gives ideas for helping young students practice no matter what method books they are using. The practice tracker is simple enough for your youngest students and Holly even includes common musical terms so parents can use the right "lingo" with their child. Love this resource!
While trying to level-up the practice in my own studio, I noticed that parents weren't supporting their kids-not because they didn't want to-but because they didn't know HOW to. This Guide was the perfect resource for my parents to know how to help their child with practice, even without a music background. We made it a fun "traveling binder" that goes from student family to student family each week! It's been a total hit!
As a piano teacher for over 3 decades, the struggle I hear the most from parents is related to getting their kids to practice. Having the conversation with parents one by one takes a lot of time (and sometimes mental drain) as a teacher. This year, I am excited to "have the conversation" by offering Piano in Five as a practicing resource to our studio families.
Holly does the homework for us teachers and turns it into a systematized, effective resource we can actually use all year long. It’s a time-saver and super communicative for both students and parents. Thank you, Holly!
