Engaging Students with Practice Space During the Summer

As the school year comes to a close and summer approaches, many music teachers face the challenge of keeping their students engaged and motivated during the break. With families traveling, schedules changing, and distractions abound, it can be challenging to retain students. However, with the right tools and strategies, teachers can use Practice Space to keep their students practicing and enhance their learning experience during the summer months.

Summer Practice Challenges

One effective way to keep students engaged with music during the summer is to utilize Practice Space’s community challenges. With this versatile feature, teachers can create practice challenges to encourage a practice streak, video challenges to encourage progress videos, and custom challenges that are totally up to your creativity! You can also implement a little healthy competition by allowing students to see each other’s progress to boost motivation.

Summer Music Projects

Another way to inspire creativity and engagement during the summer is by encouraging students to embark on music projects. Practice Space's digital assignments feature allows teachers to assign creative projects such as composing music, creating arrangements, recording performances, or exploring music theory concepts. Students can work individually or collaborate with their peers, using the app's chat feature to communicate with their teacher, share progress updates, and receive feedback.

Video Exchange Program

For students who may be traveling or unable to attend regular lessons during the summer, Practice Space offers a convenient solution with its video exchange program. Teachers can record valuable instructional videos for their students that they can reference at any time! When uploading the assignment, teachers can include multimedia files for extra detailed instruction. Students will then be encouraged to record and share their practice sessions using the app. Teachers can then review the videos, provide personalized feedback, and track students' progress remotely.

This asynchronous learning approach allows students to continue practicing at their own pace and schedule, ensuring that they stay connected with their musical studies even when away from the studio.
