Amy Chaplin, a music teacher I met (and rode a hot air balloon with!) at the MTNA Conference this year is doing a final project for her Music Education Research class. It’s a questionnaire on the use of practice incentives to motivate students. Anyone who has been reading here very long knows that I’m a huge proponent of effectively designed practice incentives, so I found the questionnaire incredibly fascinating!
The project deadline is tomorrow, so that’s not a lot of time, but I thought I would post it here in case some of you would like to participate in the project. And of course, I’d love to hear what you think!
Thanks for posting this Natalie! I’ve already gotten a couple of responses from your wonderful readers! I’ll let you know how things turn out.
For a future post – I would love to hear what you think about online free music – especially classical. I was just having a discussion with a teacher who has been teaching far longer than I, and she is very wary of this music. However, I have done a little research to find that the editing is actually quite good on most. I also love to have the option of free music for students some times – and this allows me to give a student a piece at times without buying a whole book for one song. Thoughts???
