Description
The Growing Practice Chain develops step by step together with the student.
Students begin with the shortest version and gradually move to longer versions as new repertoire is learned. In this example, Happy Song serves as a familiar interlude between the repertoire pieces, providing security and helping students connect one piece to the next.
The same principle can be applied to many other Practice Chains throughout the Media Library. Students simply play as far as their current repertoire allows and stop when they reach the last piece they have learned. As new pieces are added to their repertoire, they can continue further through the Practice Chain.
Growing Practice Chains provide a simple and motivating way to combine review, concentration training and repertoire development within one musical activity.
