practice records_
maintain a log to evaluate progress over time, to review sticking points, or to see what you worked on yesterday, last week, last month, and last year.
accountability_
having a dedicated tool for planning and tracking practice is one of the best ways to hold yourself accountable in the practice room.
teachers and students_
no more confusion in lessons. if you are a student, it makes it easier to show your teacher what you have practiced. If you are a teacher, it's easy to see what your students have been working on. it's a win win.
inspirational tool_
