Music Money Incentive

After Spring Festival, I decided to implement an incentive program to help my students continue to be motivated and work toward the Spring Recital in May.  If this incentive program works well, I hope to do something similar in the Fall. 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The main goal is to motivate students to develop more effective practice habits, improve skills, and recognize/reward consistent efforts for progress.

Each student will strive to earn a $50 ticket to attend the end-of-the-year Ice Cream Party. Once a student has earned his or her ticket, he or she may continue to save up to shop in my “store.” Shopping will take place during the party, on May 21^st at 11:30 a.m.

For their efforts, students will receive:

$1

*For each piece and/or assignment passed with all details mastered

*For each week that all Scales, Chords, and Arpeggios are passed

$5

*For each week that ALL assignments are passed

*For each week that all materials are brought to the lesson

$10

*For performing a piece (by memory) in public, at school or church, or other outside events

*For keeping a six day practice log

Students will be deducted:

-$1 For not paying attention to rhythm

-$1 For “fiddling” while teacher is talking

-$5 For coming to a lesson without all materials needed for the lesson
