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!
