Every summer I do some sort of summer program to keep the students excited and progressing during the summer months.
This summer we are doing
"My Three Wishes!"
Every student has three 'wishes' they are working on.
1. The first wish is a song they wish to learn this summer. This can be any song they want to learn for fun, from a pop song to a church song, they will all choose something they are excited to learn.
2. The second wish is they are going to wish to learn or accomplish a particular goal in terms of piano skill or understanding this summer. This might be a goal for flashcards, scales, or finishing a set of books, etc.
3. The third wish says, "My teacher wishes that I will _______________." This gives me the opportunity to wish for them something specific that I feel they should work on.
There is a big REWARD if they accomplish all their wishes before the end of August, so parents, please ask your students what their three wishes are and encourage them in their efforts. I know they can all be successful if they work hard and will be improved pianists by the end of this summer!
Happy practicing!
