Piano Practice Chart

One of the most important facets of learning a musical instrument is practice. That is how muscle memory is built and the technique is developed. It is important to create a regular routine of practice, preferably on a daily basis. A practice tracking chart is a perfect way to do this. This chart will record daily practice time for 5 weeks, which is a good duration for building a habit. There is space to notate how many hours of practice are put in each day, then totals for the week. There is also a place to assign points to each practice session, adding another layer of reward to encourage kids to participate. The Notes section is a great place to list any specific repertoire pieces that should be included or any skills that need to be focused on. There is a place to write down the name of the child being recorded, making the chart useful within households that have multiple children playing the piano. This chart is a wonderful way to encourage children to develop responsibility and lifelong habits. It is playfully presented and can be given to a child to color in, further personalizing the chart. Keeping this chart after it has been completed can help to show just how much has been achieved and create a feeling of accomplishment.
