My studio is in full swing and the students are loving Shooting for the Stars. Here is how the incentive works: Students earn stars for different things during their lesson. I have chosen to give stars for the following items: 1. Sight Reading: Each week the students sight read a piece during their lesson. If they are successful they earn a star. 2. Rhythm: Each week the students perform a rhythm by clapping, counting and then playing them on a note or chord. They can also earn additional rhythm stars by counting while playing an assigned piece or performing a song with wonderful rhythm. 3. Note Naming: The students always play their rhythm to a note or chord I have them name. I usually include notes they are struggling on. If they get them correct they win a star. I also have the students name notes in their assigned piece. More stars! 4. Presentation: I give this star to students who come prepared with materials and present their assigned piece musically.
