One of the biggest challenges for music teachers and parents is getting kids to practice their musical instruments. Whether it’s piano, guitar, violin, or any other instrument, many kids resist putting in practice time. MusicTeacherNotes helps solve this problem by making music practice feel more like a game and less like a chore. The result is that goals and objectives are achieved without parents having to resort to threats or consequences to get kids to practice.
MusicTeacherNotes uses video to help students learn more effectively. Video is a powerful supplement to lessons—when students can see and hear how a song or skill is performed, they learn faster. MusicTeacherNotes includes features like a tempo control and a video clipper, designed specifically to enhance music practice.
Most younger children aren’t intrinsically motivated to practice—they don’t learn just for the sake of learning. That’s perfectly normal, which is why MusicTeacherNotes uses motivational tools and positive reinforcement to encourage practice.
Music Bucks
Kids earn Music Bucks as they log practice time. Parents decide what rewards kids can purchase with Music Bucks through their parent account. To kids, Music Bucks feel like real money—making practice much more motivating!
Practice Stickers
In addition to earning Music Bucks, kids also collect "Practice Stickers" by logging practice. There are 200 possible stickers, and every 30 minutes of practice earns one. Stickers are linked to Music Bucks because they act like raffle tickets. Each month, one sticker is chosen as "The Super Sticker." If a child owns that sticker, they earn 5 Music Bucks for each one—giving them even more reason to practice.
Achievement Awards
Achievement awards, such as the Perfect Practice Award, serve as virtual trophies for completing practice plans created with the Practice Plan Creator.
Children see all their rewards directly within their account, making practice an exciting part of their day. If done right, music lessons can be one of the best investments a parent can make—teaching children how to learn, building their confidence, and giving them a skill they can enjoy for a lifetime.
