Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and while your piano students may have hearts filled with candy and cards, you can fill their lessons with fun and motivation.
February can sometimes feel like a low-energy month, but with a little creativity, you can liven things up with an activity that combines music and a touch of holiday magic.
With its festive Valentine’s Day theme, Cupid Cash turns piano practice into a game your students will adore. They’ll look forward to earning their Cupid Cash dollars while strengthening their skills and enjoying every moment at the piano.
What is Cupid Cash? How Does It Work?
Cupid Cash is a Valentine’s Day reward incentive that can be used to “purchase” little trinkets from a studio store.
Each Cupid Cash bill has the days of the week listed on one side. At home, your student must practice daily and then have a parent initial beside the corresponding day listed on the Cupid Cash bill.
If each day has been initialed when your student returns to lessons the following week, the student keeps the Cupid Cash bill in a binder (a ziplock baggie does the trick!). As the money grows each week, your student can choose to use the Cupid Cash bills to purchase little treats from your studio store.
