The Joyful Points Program will award points for certain activities (i.e. practicing 30 minutes, finishing a book, doing extra credit, etc.). This program hopes to provide incentive to students who spend their free time learning more about music, practicing, and studying. Each student will save up their points each month and will have the opportunity to “Cash In” their points at the monthly recital for prizes. There will be many little trinkets, from fun notepads and pencils to stickers and small toys. A point list will be given out at your first lesson.
