Easily create shareable lessons filled with text, images, audio, YouTube clips, PDFs, and more. Then, send the lesson to your student via email, Messages, or any other system where they can receive a link.

Welcome to Practice Prescriptions! Practice Prescriptions is a platform that allows music teachers to assign structured practice assignments to their students. This method helps students understand how to achieve quality music practice at home. Research suggests that music students struggle with knowing how to practice—that is—how to engage in mindful, deliberate practice. Music students often find practicing alone at home to be a difficult and sometimes tedious experience. Some reasons for this common struggle are: they don’t know what to work on, they don’t know when to practice, and the duration of practice time seems too long. Here, teachers can assign timed practice tasks of varying lengths that allow students to problem-solve while they practice. Tasks can include isolating specific sections of music, identifying sections of music that are similar to others, learning musical material in and out of context, working on specific skills, practice performing, and the list goes on! Practice Prescriptions brings the world of task switching into your practice room! *Guided bite-size tasks Teachers can get students to stay on track, see their progress, and teach affective ways to problem-solve while learning musical material. *Stay motivated Students can form a real learning and practicing habit, and also archive their completed practice prescriptions to earn badges! If so inclined, students can even write themselves practice prescriptions and take total charge in the practice room. *Bonus for teachers (1) Teachers are able to track their students’ progress and adjust the practice prescriptions accordingly. (2) Teachers can save practice prescriptions to their library and re-use them when necessary. (3) Many music teachers are also performing musicians who need to practice too! Like students, teachers are able to write themselves practice prescriptions.
