Why Practice Note Was Created
I started taking private flute lessons when I was four years old. Luckily, I had very experienced teachers that taught me how to practice correctly. One of the most helpful tools they provided me with was a weekly lesson sheet. The problem was, as I got older, those loose sheets would get lost and scattered.
After becoming a teacher myself, I searched for a bound practice notebook that I could have my students use. But to my surprise, there simply wasn't one that met my expectations. The ones that did exist all treated practice sessions as "assignments". Ugh...
Music is supposed to be fun and rewarding! And colorful and inspiring!
That's when I came up with Practice Note. I set out to create a notebook that embraces the idea that learning an instrument can be exciting, modern, organized, vibrant, and straightforward! And that something called a "lesson sheet" could, I don't know, be kind of cool?
I must admit the final product far exceeded my wildest dreams, and I hope the excitement I've put into this rubs off on you as well!
