A couple of years ago, I developed this program to use in my own studio, and it was a big hit! I finally cleaned and polished it all up for you, and it's for sale in my Etsy shop.
Findin’ Buried Treasure is a piano studio
incentive program and year-long theme. Your students will find treasure as they learn
new pieces, master sight-reading skills, train their ears and fingers, and put
new facts into their noggins. You decide what they learn, and the program gives you a format for recording keeping and rewarding their accomplishments. They’ll earn some fine gems and gold as they go! At
the end of each month (or yarrr, it’s up to you), they can trade their loot for
pirate doubloons and buy themselves a prize!
This incentive program rewards
students for practice results, not practice times. There’s no need to record
practice minutes! Students earn gems for pieces learned to completion,
technique activities like scales and arpeggios, ear-training and sight reading
activities, and mastery of Knowledge Knuggets in theory. Best of all, this incentive program is easy and
quick to implement, easy to explain to your students, and provides a wealth of
theming opportunities for the whole yarrr... uh, year! You can customize the
program to your needs, leaving out what you don’t want to do, planning your own
activities, etc. These are not rules; they’re more like guidelines, savvy?
Included in the purchase are three
digital files. The first is a 4 page Teacher’s Guide and an optional bulletin
board title page. The second is a file of student pages including a cover page,
explanation of the program, record-keeping and motivational pages, and an assignment sheet. The
third is a 10-page booklet of theory Knowledge Knuggets in increasing
difficulty.

What age groups would this be appropriate? I can't really tell from the listing?
ReplyDeleteI used this program with students from first through 8th grades! It's very adaptable!
