The Science of Practice 


The six practice strategies come directly from the cognitive psychological scientists at  LearningScientists.org


Take a few minutes to learn about these six strategies, originally developed for classroom use,  at the  Parent Resource page on the MWA website.... 
Leila Viss of 88PianoKeys has attached images to these strategies and we have reworked the Learning Strategies words to be more 'memorable'.  
MWA has created a chart to coordinate with these Learning Strategies 
which are being introduced in the studio.
