I’m sharing this fun practice log that we’re using in my studio. I normally don’t recommend that families track the number of minutes at the piano. I prefer to focus on the quality of the practice.
However, it’s recital time, so we’re doing a fun activity to help the kids be prepared for their performances. I use this chart to set a goal with each student. Kids record their time on the log, and their parents sign it off each week. Every child who meets her goal gets an award at the recital. It’s a fun activity that students usually enjoy.
My teacher used a similar program with me when I was a child. I remember practicing extra hard as a result. In fact, each year I wanted to beat my goal from the previous year. I still remember how fun it was and the sense of accomplishment I felt as I totaled up my minutes for the month. I’m grateful that I had a wonderful teacher!
To use this chart, set a goal with the child for the number of minutes to practice each day. Then multiply that number to get the monthly total. Write the big monthly goal inside the star at the top of the page.
