Are your preschool piano students practicing on a regular basis? If not, you may want to consider sending home a piano practice pal.
Piano Practice Pals are stuffies that your preschool students can take home for the week. The practice pal is a little buddy that can keep your preschoolers company as they work on a homework sheet, revisit a lesson, or prepare a recital piece.
Getting started with Piano Practice Pals
1. Head to your local toy store and find a stuffie that resembles one of the five Finger Friends.
2. Each week, send the new Piano Practice Pal home with a different preschool piano student.
3. Instruct your preschool students to complete one of the following challenges:
- Have a photo taken practicing with your pal.
- Get your practice pal to write (Mom or Dad helps here) 3 things you did well
- Teach your practice pal an activity you learned this week
- Sing A Musical Math Song to your Practice Pal
- Put on a mini-recital for your Practice Pal
Watch Your Preschoolers Abilities Take Off
Preschoolers, like any other piano student, need to have a dedicated practice schedule in order to benefit from everything WunderKeys has to offer. But, of course, asking a preschooler to practice (in the traditional sense) can be a bit overwhelming. A Piano Practice Pal helps preschoolers develop a positive attitude towards piano practice right from the start.
I absolutely love this idea! I’m going to look for my Piano Practice Pal today!
