Lesson Plans and Weekly Usage Routines

Updated: Sep 5

Simple planning models to build consistency and creativity

Here is a resource with samples of assignments and ways that you can utilize Practice Room for your students.



Why Routine Matters
Consistency drives musical progress. Practice Room helps integrate that routine into your instruction, minimizing admin and maximizing learning.

Creating lessons in Practice Room involves creatively combining recognized, well-known pedagogy with digital tools and techniques to both reinforce concepts and encourage students with immediately recognizable results. The balance is long-term growth/satisfaction with the short-term enjoyment/gratification. Make it feel like a game!

Extend the freedom to create no matter the student's skill level and they will find themselves more motivated to practice.
