Ideally every student would be perfectly motivated to practice consistently for the sheer joy of making music and the intrinsic satisfaction that comes from mastering challenging tasks. But real life is not this picture perfect. I use a variety of short term and long term practice incentives throughout their years of music study to recognize and track progress and reward accomplishments. Some students respond well to checklists, others love positive peer recognition and competition, while some will soar to great heights for a coveted prize basket item or treat. Following are some of the incentive programs I have enjoyed using with my students to help guide their success in a fun way.
