MUSIC MERITS

This year, we are using a Music Merits Practice Incentive Program for our non-beginners. Students will earn music merits for various activities:

• Taking exams
• Participating in recitals
• Memorizing pieces
• Learning new music within two weeks
• Practicing regularly
• Scoring well on our monthly theory quizzes
• Demonstrating extra effort (such as learning a song independently, overcoming musical challenges, or maintaining a positive attitude during tough lessons)

Click here to download a copy of our Music Merits chart and use it as you wish. If you want the editable word document so you can add your own criteria for earning merits, shoot us a message and we'll send it to you for free! 
​
We're using different colored stickers for the different merit categories - purple for exams, pink for recitals etc., so the students will end up with a colorful chart by the end of the piano year. 😁
​
We’ve designed some adorable inexpensive merit stickers that are available in our Etsy store, but you can use any small stickers to track progress on the charts.

Right now, we're working on the reward system for the program. Students will start to receive rewards when they reach 50 Music Merits, and for every 10 merits after that.  We're actually going to let the students vote on the type of rewards they'd like to receive, and we'll have trophies for students who reach 100 merits.
