Wow! When I started the Quick Tips section of the site I thought I might have 10 or maybe 20 quick and useful tips to help you all with your music practice. A few months later and we're at 50 already!!

Thanks for this post. Those tips are just so relevant, useful and inspiring. With this great package, you simply make most music teachers and your readers out there inspired and motivated to practice music teaching at their best - with all their passion and dedication. On a personal note, among those tips, I find number 5 (developing a schedule) quite difficult and complex. That is why I needed to have my own music teaching software that allows me to set and organize my schedule without overlapping and having conflicts. It was really a great help. Just in case, you may need additional inputs and some more useful music teaching tips, please free to check these pages to help you out. I'm telling you - it's a good resource for music teachers. All the best, my fellow music teacher.
Hi,
This is really a nice post, you share good piece of information. I appreciate the information, well thought out and written. Thank you
This is inspiring; I am very pleased by this post. Nice info at this post thanks!!! I really like it
These are all wonderful tips. I played the piano and trombone when I was younger. Oh, and when I received an alto sax as one my many musical gifts one year, I learned it too. Something I always found helpful was to practice with your eyes closed. It seems to really heighten your awareness to sound and touch and really helps with memorizing your music, too.
