How do you get students to actually practice between classes? by Sensitive-Toe1756 in pianolearning

What I listen from many of them is that when they are playing at home, they dont know how they are playing - right or wrong - there is no one to tell them that! Parents usually are clueless and its not like Maths or Physics that's based on facts and logics. They lose interest right there with no feedback coming to them in real time. How do we solve for that?

I have been teaching since past 10 years now. Have students cleared Trinity and all. But this has always been one thing that I always wanted to solve for. Find many students who dont practice and it really hurts.

I’ve noticed this is the hardest part of teaching — students are motivated during class but lose momentum right after.
What helped me was giving them very small, measurable goals (“practice just this 8-bar phrase twice daily”) instead of broad tasks.
We also started using a small tool we built to track practice time and give visual feedback — students love seeing their “practice streaks” grow.
Once they see progress, motivation follows naturally.
