Practice Record Challenge!
Monday, January 29, 2018 by Caitlin Peach | Uncategorized
We've been doing a great job getting back into the swing of practicing after the holidays - I've been so impressed with how far everyone is coming in their lessons!
To keep the momentum going, especially with solo and ensemble contest coming up for many of you, I wanted to pose the following challenge to all of my students for the month of February:
Elementary Students (5-11 years old):
Practice a total of 100 minutes a week and reach a total of 400 minutes for the month of February
(this is at least 20 minutes a day for 5 days out of the week)
Middle School Students (11-14 years old):
Practice a total of 150 minutes a week and reach a total of 600 minutes for the month of February
(this is at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days out of the week)
High School/Adult Students (14 and up):
Practice a total of 200 minutes a week and reach a total of 800 minutes for the month of February
(this is at least 40 minutes a day for 5 days out of the week)
I will start counting your practicing from 2/1 until 2/28. To have your points count, you need to be tracking them in your portal. If you have any issues with logging into your portal, please let me know in your next lesson so I can help you to get it working. Please do not lie about how much you are practicing, it will be obvious in your lesson if you really didn't practice that week. Remember, working on theory, fingerings, and listening to recordings of your piece DO count as practicing! As long as you're working on something we are doing in lessons, it counts!
So what's in it for you (besides the benefit of practicing ☺):
1. Everyone who meets the goal for their grade level will receive a prize.
2. Whoever in each grade level has the highest number practice minutes recorded will receive an extra prize.
3. Between all 3 grade levels, whoever has the highest number of practice minutes recorded will receive an extra, extra prize!
Let's see how many minutes we can rack up this month as a studio! Happy practicing!!
