Drawing on the understanding that music is a language, each week's assignments are organized to help the students become fluent. This means they will be focusing on hearing, speaking, reading, writing, thinking, and living music throughout the year.

At the beginning of the year, students will answer the question, "What do you want to be able to do by next May that you can't do now?" This will serve as their overarching goal for the year, and will be broken down into a mid-year goal, and 4-week (28 days!) goals that they are working toward to ultimately accomplish their goal for the year. Every 4 weeks, a Film Week gives students the opportunity to share (verbally and/or musically) what they have accomplished in working toward their goal.

Please Note: This is a downloadable product that will be available to you immediately upon payment completion. This saves time and money on shipping and includes the right to make as many copies as you need for your studio. There will be time and expense involved in printing copies of the studio decor and assignment books for your students, so please factor that into the overall cost of implementing the practice incentive theme. I charge a registration fee for each student due by August 1 that covers these expenses for my studio.
