It’s that time of year again! I’m busy brainstorming for next year’s studio practice incentive theme, so it’s time to pass along all of the studio decor from last year’s theme, The Secret of the Keys, to another teacher. And it could be you!
Here’s what some of my students had to say about it:
“It was cool doing the thumbprints!”
“I enjoyed the personal touch of putting our own fingerprints on the poster.”
“It was awesome putting the cipher cards together and decoding the clues.”
“It was a good mystery.”
And from a parent: “The clues and cipher cards were a good motivator.”
One special winner will receive a large studio poster (a $45 value) and the complete studio theme downloadable package (a $25 value). Just leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing to win. A winner will be chosen using a random number generator at noon (CST) on Friday, July 19, 2019.

These studio incentives have been helpful in the past when I have used them.
THank you for creating them
Autumn says
These studio incentives sound like so much fun! I’m intrigued to learn more.
Laurie R Smith says
This studio incentive sounds fun and full of surprises. Love that the students get to decode. Mystery and anticipation will provide fresh challenges, for sure!
Angela says
I’ve wanted to try a more in-depth incentive program and would be thrilled to check it out.

I’m so admiring of your creativity Music Matters!! I’ve been trying to determine the carrot and stick approach I was going to try out this year. I’ve been considering this because I’ve just been told about a study that indicates kids don’t retain when “promised gifts” but do better with “surprise” gifts. The mystery component here meets the criteria in my mind??. Thanks??

I have been considering doing a practice incentive, but get so overwhelmed by which one to pick. This incentive would be perfect for my students. I have been following your blog for a very long time and have gotten some wonderful games, theory and piano ideas from your blog. Thank you for all you do.
Lynda says
This looks great and highly motivating!

Your creativity always amazes me!! thanks for making all your hard thinking available to us who are perhaps less creative but need those seeds of ideas from teachers like yourself! Hope I win 🙂

I have not used one of your studio incentives in the past, but would love to find a new way to help my kids want to practice more!
