The ‘Recital Prep Bundle’ resource details:

1. ‘Recital Shakedown’ performance game:

Help your students get rid of those pesky performance nerves, and loosen things up with this fun performance game!

‘Recital Shakedown’ is a cool piano performance game, to help students develop performance skills.  The engaging artwork makes it feel like a ‘real’ music game.  It includes 50 challenge cards, issuing a multitude of fun ‘performance challenges’.  Tackling these quirky performance challenges helps students improve focus skills and strengthens their ability to ignore distractions while playing.

Game rules for TWO playing versions are included, to help students see the fun side of performance.  Use it in an individual lesson to ‘pressure test’ recital pieces, or play it in a group class to help students realise that they are not alone in facing their nerves!  Even better, why not hold a ‘Piano Party’ class as part of your recital preparations?  Of course, the studio license also lets you print extra copies as ‘party favours’ to give students to use it as a piano practice game at home!

  • Great for a Group Class or Piano Party!  Printing & set-up instructions and Game Rules are all included – Makes it easy to use in your group classes.
  • Play the game in individual lessons!  Use it to create a memorable piano lesson with just teacher and student during lesson time.  A second set of instructions are also included for how to play the game one-on-one.
  • Useful for both In person AND Online lessons!  A great way to have some fun with ‘performance practice’ in online and hybrid lessons.  Use it to help you run an online Zoom ‘performance class’ when face-to-face classes are not possible.


2. ‘My Bag of Practice Tricks’ book - BOTH editions:

Full of helpful, accessible practice strategies developed from years of music teaching.  The concise, colourful, student-friendly layout in this little book gives lots of practice help, encouraging your students to make the best use of the six days in between their music lessons! 

Teachers can use the book’s learning strategies in lessons, to support and reinforce its use at home.

  • 43+ efficient and fun Practice Tricks to make mid-week practice more effective – These practice ‘tricks’ give you lots and lots ‘games’ for students to play with their pieces.  An easy way to teach them how to maintain their practice focus throughout the week.
  • Includes 11 BOREDOM BUSTING Practice Tricks specifically for technical work – great for exam prep
  • The student-friendly design entices students to engage & achieve – Bright colours & cartoon pictures support the text throughout
  • ‘Tricks’ for all stages of learning, from starting a new piece, through deep learning, polishing and performing
  • Fosters healthy meta-cognitive learning – subliminally teaching students to learn how they learn, and harness the benefit of this
  • Makes professional practice strategies accessible to students in a fun and easy way
  • Gives even non-musical parents a way of helping at home – take the stress factor out of practice time at home

These practice tricks can be used and combined in different ways, making them very versatile…and addictive!  What a great way to put the final polish on pieces ready for recitals, exams, competitions and festivals.

We include TWO different editions of the ‘Bag of Tricks’ book here: 

The original Children’s Edition: suitable for primary aged students, playing late elementary pieces right through to advanced pieces. 

The Older Students Edition: great for teens and adults – it contains the same content, but the text, layout and graphics are upgraded and streamlined to appeal to older students. 

This bundle includes BOTH editions to cover all students ages and levels.
