More time for Artistry with PracticeFirst
Friday, January 23, 2026
8:00 AM - 8:45 AM
Description
Tired of having to assess hundreds of students during rehearsals, or worse – spending your individual time with a student only assessing, and not building skills? Now there’s PracticeFirst - automatically assessing students’ practice on any device. Not only will you get the student’s audio, but video too, with no file storage limit, saving you countless hours of grading.
