Mission: Music!

As always I'm extremely excited about this year's incentive program.  I thought it would be hard to top "Musikopoly" from last year but I think this program is amazing!  It's a cross between "Mission: Impossible" and "Amazing Race".  I will have a bit world map up in my studio to track where everyone goes.  There will be challenges to complete at each city students stop at.  Lots of prizes and bonuses along the way.

Musikopoly

About a year ago I was on the hunt for an incentive program that would help to motivate students to push a little harder each week, keeping daily practice 'top of mind'.  It didn't take me long to find "Musikopoly", a year-long incentive program that was sure to do the trick.  For the most part, the response was tremendous.  Students could earn 'Bach Bucks' each week by accomplishing certain tasks: practicing, completing creative quests, sight reading challenges, composer research, and larger scale accomplishments (performance, song writing, and examinations)  With their bucks, they could then purchase properties on their personal game boards.

I was thrilled with the results and the 'fun factor' that Musikopoly added to my piano studio this past year!  Here are some happy campers with their proudly completed boards!
