Practice Incentive Program
Practicing! It is one of the key elements to becoming a good pianist. Kristine realizes that students achieving success at the piano is so much more than telling them to go home and practice. It is every piano teacher’s hope that students have gleaned enough inspiration from their lesson and have enough self-motivation to practice on their own. But in this digital age, where instant gratification is everyone’s expectation, working on something until you’ve “mastered it” has become a lost art. As a piano teacher, Kristine teaches students not only how to play the piano, but also, through her practice incentive program, the life skill of self-discipline. Her comprehensive practice program helps students and families address:
- who should practice with the student
- what and how to practice
- how to organize practice time
- why a student should practice and keep a record of practicing
- when a student should practice and practice schedules
- where to practice.
This multi-tiered practice program offers a variety of extrinsic as well as intrinsic incentives that appeal to students according to their age and level. Some examples of these incentives include a star chart, pizza practice party, treasure chest, as well as a plethora of performance opportunities, recitals, festivals, piano exams and competitions.
