Free Printable Piano Practice Record

Today I’m sharing a free printable piano practice record I made recently for tracking the time my children spend working on their music.

These print two charts per sheet and can track up to 15 hours worth of practice. I’ll let you decide whether or not a full sheet will earn the music student an award.

If you need space for writing lesson notes as well as tracking practice times, then you might prefer the following style.

Our family has been blessed with several wonderful piano teachers over the years, but the one who is currently teaching our children to play is in a class all her own.

Ms. Judy is a master at inspiring her students to practice, partly because she gives them a say in what music they learn, and partly because she doesn’t make them keep track of the minutes or hours they spend practicing.

Instead, she simply asks them to play through their music a specified number of times four days a week (three times on Monday or Tuesday, twice on Tuesday or Wednesday, three times on Wednesday or Thursday, twice on Thursday or Friday).

The curious thing is that by “requiring” less from her students, she ends up getting more out of them.

I cannot tell you how often my children sit down at the piano to play, even after all their boxes have been checked off. And during those extra practices? They are there for the pure pleasure of playing, not because the clock says they have twenty minutes left before their allotted hour is up.

I keep all my children’s practice notes in a three-ring binder, with a divider tab for each child taking lessons. The instructor can fill in which pieces need to be practiced, then the kids check them off as they complete each assigned run-through.

And if your piano students are just starting out, you might also be needing a set of our music note flashcards to help in learning the note names plus their associated staff lines and piano keys. You can download those free printables here:
