Turning Practice Into Play: Why We Love Practice Space

Let’s be honest sticking to a consistent practice routine can be frustrating. Life gets busy, motivation dips, and even the most passionate students sometimes struggle to pick up their instrument between lessons.

As a teacher, I knew we needed something that could bridge the gap between lessons and keep students engaged in a way that felt natural and fun. I was looking for something like Duolingo, but for music something that could make practice feel like a game.

That’s when we found Practice Space, and we haven’t looked back since.
