Take the guesswork out of practicing and give your students a clear, motivating path forward with the Stoplight Practice System!
This simple, visual system helps students understand how to practice—not just what to practice—by organizing their pieces into three clear categories:
- 🔴 Red = New material (small sections, lots of repetition)
- 🟡 Yellow = Getting there (play through slowly, build confidence)
- 🟢 Green = Performance-ready (polish, dynamics, expression, memorization)
Perfect for Suzuki students, private lessons, or group classes, this system builds independence and helps students practice with purpose.
What’s Included (Digital Download):

- ✔️ Printable Poster with a quick, easy reference for students
