Daily piano practice falls off a cliff in October.
Like a New Year’s Resolution, the practice motivation that accompanies a new piano year disappears after the first month.
But do not let this get you down! It’s natural for kids (and adults) to lose motivation over time.
Instead, be thankful for that first-month practice surge and then seek out ways to re-inspire your students as October approaches.
In today’s post, we are sharing Mummy Money: a Halloween piano practice incentive that will keep kids practicing.
Beware! Piano Practice Isn’t October’s Only Problem
October’s piano practice dip is not the only issue that arrives with October.
Kids can lose interest in their method books too. But this does not mean you should toss their books.
Instead, it is time to search for leveled supplementary repertoire, which can be hard to find unless…
You are a fan of Andrea and Trevor Dow’s Very Useful Piano Library.
With precisely leveled repertoire and delightful themes, we always have the perfect book for your primer and level 1 students.
And if you are looking for the perfect Halloween resource, be sure to check out Mummy Rocks The Costume Contest.
Download Our Halloween Piano Practice Incentive
Our Mummy Money Practice Pack is a Halloween-themed reward incentive that can be used to “purchase” little trinkets from a studio store.
Each Mummy Money 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 Mummy Money.
If each day has been initialed when your student returns to lessons the following week, the student keeps the Mummy Money Bill in a binder (a ziplock baggie does the trick!). As the money grows each week, your student can choose to use the Mummy Money to purchase little treats from your studio store.
