Each year I develop a different theme. This year's is Go For the Gold. Each student is placed on a team with 5 other students and they are working to accumulate the most points for their team. The criteria for earning points is listed in each student's assignment book. Every 6 weeks or so we hold an Olympic Event where the students play for each other and do various things to earn additional points. The winning team at the end of the event wins gold. :-) I'm planning to compile the incentive program and add it to the others I have available under the practice incentives category. I'll include more specifics when I do that. Lydia~ I think you could do it with young students as well. You'd just have to tailor the questions to their comprehension and experience level. You could also do non-piano lesson questions just for variety (e.g. What's your favorite kind of candy? How many people in your family play a musical instrument? What do you want to be when you grow up? etc.) Thanks, Chris! Each year I develop a different theme. This year’s is Go For the Gold.

I should start too, but most of my students are so young(6 years olds) and new to piano lessons. Should I wait 6 months before asking these questions? Thanks, Lydia This is wonderful.
