October Practice Record CHALLENGE!
Tuesday, October 2, 2018 by Caitlin Peach | Uncategorized
It's been awhile since we've done a practice challenge as a studio. Now that the excitement of the start of a next school year has died down and we're all getting back into the swing of things (and Fall is truly about to begin!), I thought it was time to do a practice challenge for October!
To keep things fair, I've split everyone into groups: Elementary, Middle, High and Adult. You will only be competing to beat those students in YOUR group. So there will be a prize for the top Elementary, Middle and High School/Adult students. Each student who reaches their minimum goal will also get something for the month. Prizes will range from gift cards to puzzles/toys or even a prize that you can eat! I always wait to announce the prizes til the final week of the challenge (but the biggest reward is how much you're going to improve as a musician with all of this practicing!).
If you are put into the wrong group, please let me know and I will move you to the correct one. Elementary is up to 5th grade and Middle is 6th thru 8th.
Elementary Students - 300 Minutes
(Breaks down to 15 minutes a day for 5 days out of the week for 4 weeks straight)

I will start counting your practicing from 10/1 to 10/31.
To have your points count, you need to be tracking them in your portal.
Every Sunday I will post an update on that week's standings for each grade level.
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 be truthful when entering your practice times. If you really have only practiced 10 minutes one day, then put in 10 minutes. I know when you have and haven't practiced! ☺ 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
Let's see how many minutes we can rack up this month as a studio! Happy practicing!!
