In addition to virtual lessons, I am offering my students a virtual practice contest to keep them motivated\/practicing during this unusual time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Set up a Facebook Group or Zoom for your Studio families. (Or some other way for the studio members to communicate with each other.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Group students into pairs. For younger students, this will involve the parents to coordinate FB\/Zoom\/or phone messages between the two kids. Preferably take into account the students\u2019 age\/level and friends they already have in the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Have each pair choose a team name. Examples from my studio: Double Treble, Forte Fairies, DR. Music, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Students should print out a lesson\/ practice sheet each week. I use the sheet from the Step-By-Step series<\/a>. This will help guide them through lessons and keep track of their practice points. I told them they can receive a total of 10 points per practice for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Either 10 check-marks on their sheet <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or<\/strong>: A solid, in-depth practice <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-5-year-olds: 15 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6-8-year-olds: 20 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9-11-year-olds: 30 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middle Schoolers: 45 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Schoolers: 1+ hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They earn an additional point if they listen to their song!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. They should check in with their teammate periodically to ensure he\/she is practicing. (They can come up with their own motivations\/cheers\/etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Students post videos to your FaceBook Studio Group or Zoom. This allows the students performance opportunities, since many of their recitals are cancelled. It also teaches them how to perfect\/ record their music, which can feel different from live performance–an important skill for 21st-century musicians in a digital age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. The team that earns the most points by the end of quarantine wins a championship music trophy<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
