What this is
A two-page printable. Page one is the student's sheet: you fill it in during the lesson and it goes home with them, with nothing on it addressed to you. Page two is the teacher reference you will use three times a year.
Page one: the weekly sheet
One focus for the week, because three focuses means none of them. What to practice, with a box for each day that the student ticks. A place for the recordings, page numbers and links they should not have to hunt for. And notes from the lesson at the bottom, written on the day rather than reconstructed at the end of term.
Page two: teacher reference
A parent who does not read music has one available measure of progress, and it is whether the piece sounds like a song. How to fill the sheet in so it does its job, and three short notes that hand them a better one: the start-of-term note that sets the measure, the mid-term note that shows change instead of activity, and the pre-recital note that connects it to what they are about to hear. Each comes with a real example and a fill-in template.
How to use it
Print the first page per student, per week. Keep the second page in the front of your binder and put its three dates in your calendar once, at the start of term. Neither page needs any software to work.
Print it, fill it in, hand it over. Yours free, for as many students as you teach.
