How audio files can improve student practice

Hey lovely teachers! Nicola here, and today on Vivid Practice, we’re diving into the often-overlooked power of audio tracks in music practice. We all know listening is key to great musicianship—but let’s be honest, getting students (and parents) to actually do it is another story. 😅

In this episode, we’ll explore why listening matters, how the CD era is holding us back, and smart, simple ways to make audio a natural part of students' routine—from apps to car rides. Plus, I’ll share some mindset shifts for teachers who worry about ear learning vs. sight-reading.

Let’s get those listening tracks working for you and your students! 🎶
