How To Use the Practice Charts (for teachers):
- Use tabs or post-it notes to mark 3 pages: "TODAY" on the current lesson page, "SCALES" and "THEORY" for easy access.
- Date each lesson at the top.
- Use the previous lesson's chart as the "to do" list (copy all songs without stars to today's practice chart).
- When a song is "recital ready," draw a star (or use star stickers!) to the left of the song
- At the end of the lesson, count all of the stars on the page ("recital ready" songs), and allow the student to put that many prize stickers on their prize chart (the last page of the book).
