Last week at our state music teachers conference, I presented a workshop called, “How to Design a Practice Incentive that Will Motivate Your Students All Year Long.” It was a lot of fun! As much as I love designing my own full-blown program, I know that lots of teachers prefer to either use a pre-designed program or use another framework and adapt it to meet the needs of their studio. In fact, I love scouring idea books, blogs, websites, etc. to help get my creative juices flowing, too!
Anyway…I offered a special deal at the conference that teachers could purchase all four of my currently available practice incentives for only $50. I thought I would extend the same offer to readers of Music Matters Blog. Now is the perfect time to pull together ideas for next year’s practice incentive, so until the end of June, you can purchase the collection of Climbing the Ladder to Success, Let’s Have a Ball!, Go for the Gold!, and Mastering the Mystery of Music for only $50 (regularly $15 each).

Natalie,
I wish I could have been at the conference to hear your presentation. Would you consider sharing your notes with those of us who couldn’t be there? I would love to hear what you shared so that I can get ideas for next year!
Thanks! Sheryl Welles
Hi Natalie,
I did the piano camp last year with my students and it was a great success. For each camp day ( i had it throughout the year when I had my group class) they learnt a differant duet and on the last group lesson day we had a recital for the parents followed by refreshments.
This year I want to do the Go for the gold. I am getting everything ready . I have a question .How do you put the numbers on the laminated colored sections ? do you tape it each time they change the numbers? Thanks.
So glad to hear that it was a success for you, Savithri! For the numbers, I just used stick tac, so it was easy to move the numbers around. Hope you all have a great time with it!
